In addition to hearing the six panelists, students attending the Day of Remembrance were able to view various displays relating
to the Holocaust, including "Sonja's Legacy," containing artwork from Terezin concentration camp, created by the niece of
survivor Juliana Lerner; an album of photographs from the Nuremburg Trials, owned by the late survivor Larry Rhee; two quilts
containing pictures of local survivors and their family, compiled by Cafe Europa; Holocaust era correspondence, from survivor
Hilde Caserio; a collection of stamps commemorating events, places, and people of the Holocaust, acquired by Sue Rosenberg;
and an identifying Star of David from the family of Albuquerque Resident Rick Thaler.
The 700 students attending the event came from Albuquerque, Belen, Rio Rancho, Pojoaque, and Roswell.
