Holocaust Survivor Returns

(Dr. Eva Olsson speaking Tuesday at Fort Frances High School)

A return visit to the Fort Frances yesterday by holocaust survivor Dr. Eva Olsson.

Olsson is visiting schools across the district to talk about her experiences and how we can combat hate and bullying.

The 86-year-old says it starts with parents teaching their children about proper attitudes now.

"Because we want to see them when we see them as adults," says Olsson. "They're going to replace us. They're going to be leaders, some of the them, and I want to be sure I won't be disappointed what I send out there."

She's at Atikokan High School today and returns to St. Michael's School in Fort Frances tomorrow.
