Jewish Affinity Group Hosts Holocaust Survivor David Tuck

The Jewish Affinity Group hosted Holocaust survivor David Tuck to Upper School assembly. Thank you to Mr. Tuck for giving our community the amazing opportunity to witness your story. Grant Shuter ’19, who connected with Mr. Tuck to invite him to AFS, shared his reflections on the experience:

“Inviting a Holocaust Survivor was essential for me, and important to AFS. We aren’t taught many in-depth lessons about the Holocaust, so this allowed every student to become more aware of what actually happened. In addition, we may be the final generation to be able hear a Survivor speak, which is crucial to understanding the true events and horrific detail. Personally, this assembly allowed me to connect to my religion and culture in a way that felt sacred. Mr. Tuck was a fantastic speaker and person, and he made sure his life lessons stuck with not just me, but the students in attendance as well. My hope is that after I graduate, the Jewish population at AFS can continue to thrive, and perhaps Mr. Tuck, or another speaker will be invited back to AFS next year.”
