Last week, the School was honoured to have the incredible Mrs Eve Kugler come in to speak on behalf of March of the Living. Students and teachers from the Boys and Girls School attended the lunchtime JSOC event to hear the important story of Mrs Kugler and her family on their escape of the holocaust.
Mrs Kugler was born in Germany and was seven years old in 1938 when Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, took place. Her entire family was torn apart by the Nazis and miraculously her parents survived several concentration camps, with her younger sister forced into hiding. Mrs Kugler and her other sister managed to escape to America and live in a foster home. Remarkably, Mrs Kugler was reunited with her parents and younger sister in 1946.
Mrs Kugler is a huge inspiration to us all and we are extremely grateful for her time and educating us on such a harrowing, historical event. Mrs Kugler is now 89 and is still travelling up and down the country visiting schools and educational trusts, spreading her story.
Once again, on behalf of Habs and the JSOC team, the School would like to thank Mrs Kugler for providing us with her precious time and the School acknowledges the privileged to have heard her speak.
