Eighth-grade students at Solomon Schechter Day School of Bergen County are commemorating Yom HaShoah with artwork on display at the Teaneck Library through May 18.

In addition, the students were asked to use “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost as a mentor text to create their own poems highlighting a choice made by one of the characters from “Daniel Half Human” by David Chotjewitz, a Holocaust-themed, historical narrative. The poems are now displayed in Schechter’s first-floor hallway,

On the evening of May 2, their Shoah-themed artwork, including scrapbooks, collages, paintings and drawings, was displayed at the Teaneck Community Council’s Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony held at the Teaneck High School.
