Art is a way to teach about the Holocaust

For four years, University High School art teacher Jennifer Gale Compau invited just her art portfolio class, students on a path to become artists, to enter the Jessica Stein Memorial Art Contest for the Spokane Community Observance of the Holocaust.

This year, she offered the opportunity to all five of her art classes and arranged to show the 90-minute documentary "Carla the Rescuer" at the school.

Along with other faculty, some on the school board, community members and members of Temple Beth Shalom and Congregation Emanu-El, 450 students viewed it on March 5.
