Tolerance Week 2025 is scheduled for April 9-11, 2025. The student event will take place on Wednesday, April 9, at 9:30 am at the Sioux City Orpheum Theatre. Students will have the opportunity to watch the film "Nicky's Family" and, if her health permits, meet and hear from Terezin Survivor Inge Auerbacher. This event promises to be a meaningful and educational experience for everyone involved.
Nicky's Family is a documentary that tells the story of Nicholas Winton, an Englishman who organized the rescue of 669 Jewish Czech and Slovak children just before the outbreak of World War II. The film highlights Winton's efforts, which he kept secret for over fifty years, and showcases the impact of his actions during the Holocaust. The documentary is both uplifting and educational, shedding light on a nearly forgotten chapter of history.
