SUMMARY:Ursula Lowenbach Foster Holocaust Memorial Scholarship Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Ursula Lowenbach Foster Holocaust Memorial Scholarship\nHistory is the result of choices made by people at a particular time. The Holocaust occurred because individuals\, groups\, and nations made choices to act or not to act. \nUrsula Lowenbach Foster survived the Holocaust because of the choice made by a courageous Dutch couple. They secretly hid Ursula\, her parents\, and 13 other Jews in an overcrowded house in Amsterdam. After barely escaping detection by the Nazis and spending a year sleeping in the dirt underneath the house among the crawling insects and rats\, Ursula and the 15 other Jews were liberated by the Allies in 1945. \nLater in life\, Ursula displayed her own courage by overcoming her shy nature to share her terrifying experiences with innumerous children at many different schools. \nUrsula had a tremendous impact on the lives of those students\, teaching them what can happen “if prejudice and hatred are allowed to run wild.” This scholarship is a testimony to the legacy Ursula created. \nAwards\nA $500 scholarship will be presented to the top entry in each of the following categories: \nCollege Division\nEssay/Poetry Category\nVisual/Performing Arts Category \nHigh School Division\nEssay/Poetry Category\nVisual/Performing Arts Category \nScholarship Presentation Format Options\nWritten Prose\nMay include essays or poetry. \nVisual & Performing Arts\nMay include original music\, photography\, dance\, computer-generated images\, ceramics\, charcoal\, pencil\, pastel\, watercolors\, acrylics\, or oils. \nDEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: MARCH 15\, 2019 \nEligibility\nTo be eligible for the scholarship\, submit an entry following the instructions contained in this document. All entries will be reviewed by the Scholarship committee and prizes of $500 will be awarded to the top finisher in each college and high school category. \nRequirements\nStep One: Research or interview a Holocaust survivor\, witness\, or rescuer. \nStep Two: Based on what you have learned from your research in Step One\, choose a topic for your submission from one of the following themes: \n\nWE MUST NEVER FORGET — The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington has Elie Wiesel’s famous words carved in stone at the entrance. “For the dead and the living\, we must bear witness.” With the passing of time\, fewer survivors remain alive to tell their stories. How might we best preserve and pass on the stories of Holocaust survivors so that the persecution of all groups can be avoided in the future?\nSAVE ONE LIFE AND YOU HAVE SAVED THE WHOLE WORLD — Many people are familiar with the story of Oscar Schindler and his role in saving the lives of Jewish people during the Holocaust. Research the life of another individual who helped save Jewish people. What motivated them to risk their life to save Jews during the Holocaust? How can we help others find this level of courage for the betterment of today’s world?\nTHAT WHICH DOESN’T KILL ME MAKES ME STRONGER — Despite the tortured past of Holocaust survivors\, many of those who survived the Holocaust have found ways to move past those horrors and succeed in many fields. Research or interview a survivor who faced persecution yet persevered\, and who later contributed to society in a positive way. What impact does the survivor’s story have on your life?\nTHOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT — The Holocaust was not the first mass persecution of Jewish people. To make sure there is never again a mass persecution of any group of people\, governments and individuals must be ready to take action. Based on lessons learned from the stories of Holocaust survivors\, provide your specific recommendations about actions that should be taken.\n\nStep Three: Choose to submit your presentation in one of the presentation formats indicated below.
