(Mr. Metzelaar with a picture of his mother...and the 'Jood' patch she was forced to wear)

On November 17, 2008, Columbia Junior High School was honored to host Mr. Peter Metzelaar. Mr. Metzelaar is a survivor of the Holocaust.  This is his 2nd visit to CJH.  Our students, as always, demonstrated exemplary behavior and respect as Mr. Metzelaar told his heart breaking story.  Mr. Metzelaar your words will never be forgotten.  Thank you for visiting us today.
