about to die was just too much."
Slay had learned about the
Holocaust, in part, through speakers
at Dream Dialogue meetings, but she
said it merely taught her about the
sequence of events. After watching a
video on anti-Semitism at the muse-
urn, "I learned about how it all start-
ed," she said.
Said Serling, "We spent at least
two meetings going over what they
would see. It's hard for kids in
America to understand everything,
and the museum is important because
it gives powerful images."
Quinn Wright, also of Ferndale
High School, is taking a class about
the Holocaust at his school.
"The museum has reinforced what
I've learned in class," he said. "This is
the place I'd send the people who say
that it never happened."
Wright pointed out that the muse-
um's stark brick-and-steel design pro-
vided him with vivid images of con-
centration camp life.
"The museum was more emotional
than the first time," said Shira Traison,
a sophomore at West Bloomfield High
School who has been to the museum
before. "My grandmother is a survivor,
and it had never touched me like it
did this time."
Following the museum tour, the
group went to the ADL office in
Washington for lunch. There they
heard Michael Lieberman of the

Washington ADL,
Gautam Rana of
the National Asian
Pacific American
Legal Consortium,
and Mayvee Smith,
project director of
A World of
Difference, talk
about inter-ethnic,
intergroup coali-
tion work on
Capitol Hill.
"Unusual coali-
tions get results
because groups
other than your
own fight for your
cause," Lieberman
said. "You must
work with others who feel the same
way you do."
The students then headed for the
Hart Senate Office Building to meet
Sen. Carl Levin, a Democrat who also
is Jewish.
Southfield-Lathrup student
Stephanie Citron and Levin debated
about the Ku Klux Klan's right to
hold a rally in Michigan, as was done
in Ann Arbor on May 9.
"They have a fundamental right to
hold a sign-up," Levin said. "It's
important not to respond with vio-
lence. That puts them on the evening
news, which is just what they want."
Levin praised the students for their

participation in Dream Dialogue,
tellinc, them, "You can make a differ-

ence."

At the National Museum of
American History, students toured
the "Field to Factory" exhibit, which
chronicles the movement of African-
Americans from the South to the
North between 1880 and 1930.
"I caught a few more details than I
had before," said Kimberly Webb, an
African-American who was one of the
trip's facilitators. "It chronicles a good
piece of history. I just wonder why
there isn't a bigger museum devoted
to this." 0
