Junipero Middle School

The Junipero Middle School was a Catholic private school in Los Angeles, California. The students were of much diverse backgrounds. In fact, in spite of it being a Catholic school, it had a couple of Jewish students.

An eight-grade history class visited an Holocaust survivor living in the Hebrew Home for the Aging. Anne Berkowitz told of her experiences she had in hiding.

Berkowitz noticed that most of the students, while interested, did not really understand how the Holocaust felt like and couldn't really relate to her. She did not really blame them because they hadn't gone through what she had.
