Democratic Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill into law Monday that requires Oregon’s public schools to educate students about the Holocaust.
The law was conceived by Claire Sarnowski, a 14-year-old Lake Oswego resident, after she developed a four-year-long friendship with Alter Wiener, a Holocaust survivor. Wiener, who spent three years in concentration camps, tirelessly advocated Holocaust education in schools. After he visited Sarnowski’s school, she took up the fight.
