4pm Noemi Ban, Holocaust survivor's presentation
Although retired, Mrs. Ban cannot stay out of the classroom. In the last three years alone, she has visited more than 300 classrooms to tell her personal story of surviving the Holocaust. In her lifetime, Mrs. Ban has survived the loss of her mother, grandmother, thirteen year-old sister and six month-old baby brother, the death camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the slave labor camp at Buchenwald, the 1956 Soviet repression of the anticommunist uprising in Hungary, and her husband Earnest’s attenuated struggle with aphasia, dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Despite the many tragedies she faced, this award-winning teacher speaks out against hate and praises tolerance, hope, and love of life.
Mrs. Ban was a winner of the 1997 Golden Apple teaching Award, a 2001 recipient of an honorary doctorate from Gonzaga University, and most recently, winner of the 2003 Washington Education Association Human and Civil Rights Award in the category of International Peace and Understanding.
