Lessons of survival, loss and resilience.

Lindenhurst School District welcomed two Holocaust survivors to speak with students.

Arnold Newfield, 83, and Marion Blumenthal Lazan, 91, visited the high school on Thursday.

They talked to students about their experience in concentration camps and their lives after the war.

Newfield shares his family's traumatic journey of survival at a camp in Holland, after his father was separated from the rest of the family when he was just three years old.

Blumenthal Lazan is the author of her memoir ‘Four Perfect Pebbles,’ where she discusses her family's six and a half years under Nazi rule.

The teachers say it's more important than ever to hear from survivors firsthand.
