LTHS Students Meet Living History!
October 22, 2009
LTHS students were witnesses to living history today. Father Sipers, a holocaust survivor and German native, shared his experiences being persecuted under the Nazi regime. Loyalsock was his last stop prior to leaving the area. The 96-year-old priest survived torment for four years in Dachau Concentration Camp and described the prison camps, his survival and near death experiences.
Many thanks to our four social studies teachers who made this opportunity available to current social studies students. Special thanks goes out to Miss Beck and members of our student body who assisted in bringing Father Sipers to Central Pennsylvania. You can read more about his experiences in a recent Sun-Gazette article.
