CDS Students Participate in Recording King History
The King Heritage & Cultural Centre (KHCC) has been doing some very inventive things this past year while their doors have remained closed due to COVID restrictions.
Perhaps the most exciting is forging a relationship with a local software company, Treasured, Inc., resulting in a free virtual exhibit titled Stories of King, featuring interesting and lesser-known tales from the Township.
In recognition of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 7-8, Mr. Downer’s class took part in an activity put on by Liberation75.

Dr. Lipstadt is a professor of Holocaust Studies at Emory College in Atlanta and well known for winning a libel case against Holocaust denier, David Irving, in 2000. She is also a historical consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.
