Living Holocaust Memorial Garden

Students from the Holocaust & Genocide Studies course at West Ashley High School planted 250 daffodil bulbs in their daffodil memorial garden this past October. The memorial garden is part of the Daffodil Project, which aims to build a worldwide Living Holocaust Memorial by planting 1.5 million daffodils in memory of the children who perished in the Holocaust and in support of children suffering in humanitarian crises in the world today. This year's class will prep, plant, and tend to the garden. When the daffodils bloom in the spring, the class will have a local guest speaker from the Charleston Jewish Federation help commemorate the garden.
