Great-Grandchild of Holocaust Survivor Places in 2019 Holocaust Reflection Contest

Danit Weitzman-Scheck Hillel Community School

North Miami Beach - The great-grandchild of a Holocaust survivor has won second place in the 2019 Holocaust Reflection Contest, High School Art category. The student artist, Danit Weitzman, is in Grade 11 at Scheck Hillel Community School. She was inspired by her great-grandfather to create the winning piece, “Resilience,” in her Advanced Placement (AP) Studio Art 3-D Design class at Scheck Hillel. Danit’s AP Art teacher, Edith Shlesinger, was also recognized for mentoring and supporting her student’s work.

The contest is hosted by Nova Southeastern University and sponsored by the Holocaust Learning and Education Fund, Inc. Danit’s artwork was inspired by her great-grandfather's testimonial.

Words from Danit Weitzman, Grade 11: From my great-grandfather’s testimonial I learned about the resilience of the Jewish people and the fact that we derive strength from one of the most tragic episodes of humanity. As a nation, we are connected by the obligation of lifting our Jewish identity and honoring the legacy of all six million Jewish lives taken, including 54 members of my family who perished and today are only present in my great-grandfather's fading memories.

My great-grandfather carried his younger brother through their escape from the march of death. Chased by bullets and bitter cold, they returned to their abandoned home, only to realize that they were the only two remaining from their family. The sibling who hung on my great-grandfather’s shoulders went on to develop Israel’s drip irrigation system and turn arid deserts into fertile land. This artwork captures a bond between two brothers, the thriving state of Israel, and the Jewish nation which has and will always be tied together with a thread of resilience.

“Danit is an amazing student and creative artist, I am so proud of her,” said Edith Shlesinger, Scheck Hillel AP Art teacher and Danit’s mentor.

Arts education is a core component of Scheck Hillel’s curriculum from early childhood through high school. Instruction is offered through a framework of educational standards in a variety of disciplines, including music, theater, and the visual arts. Scheck Hillel arts educators are highly-trained instructors who spark a lasting appreciation for artistic expression. As students make personal choices for their creative outlets, they are able to deepen and continually improve their practice.

Contest winners are awarded cash prizes and are invited with their families to a weekend of activities, including a private tour of the Craig and Barbara Weiner Holocaust Reflection Resource Center. Danit and Ms. Shlesinger were recognized in a ceremony on March 17th in the Fort Lauderdale/Davie campus of Nova Southeastern University.
