Introduction by Bernice Falk Haydu: Our French Connection The Band of Brothers was started six years ago by Christelle Zuccolotto, a French English Professor for the 8th grade, to make them aware of the contributions of the British, American, and Canadian soldiers during WWII. Each year she selects up to five persons to be interviewed by the students. By email and postal service she has her students ask questions in English. The response is in English, which they then transcribe into French. In addition she takes her class to Normandy for the Anniversary of D-Day celebration, thanks to donated funds. In 2009 I participated as a WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilot of WWII). Christelle took 45 students to the 65th anniversary of D-Day at Omaha and Normandy beaches, and asked each student to write about the experience. One student, Asma Donia Chahib, wrote an especially heart rendering essay (quoted below) which won second place. |
