BOOK DISCUSSION 
7-8 PM, FEB 10

The Zekelman Holocaust Center looks 
forward to receiving creative entries 
from Michigan students in the areas 
of poetry, prose and art (2D and 3D 
pieces). 
 The Elie Wiesel Night Competition is 
for grades nine-12, and the Kappy Anne 
Frank Competition is for grades seven 
and eight. 
 The theme of this year’s competition 
is “The Power of Your Voice.” 
Survivors — as well as those who 
perished during the Holocaust — have 
shared their voices through diaries, 
writings, testimonies, speeches, artwork 

and many other mediums over time. 
These pieces help us to learn about the 
Holocaust and to reflect on its meaning 
in the world today. 
Aligning with The HC’s mission 
to engage, educate and empower by 
remembering the Holocaust, they invite 
students to share their own unique 
voices in this competition.
Visit www.holocaustcenter.org/
competition2022 to find competition 
rules, guidelines and entry forms. 
Entries will be accepted until April 
20, with the awards ceremony taking 
place in June.
