Auburn Riverside High School Students
Create Campus Holocaust Memorial

The Auburn Riverside High School German Club is creating a memorial on campus in remembrance of the Holocaust. Students are fund-raising money to purchase a pink flowering cherry tree and a plaque. The maintenance department will plant the tree, along with help from the German Club members, on Wednesday, April 5, at 2:45 p.m.

The tree will be planted outside the German classroom. The color pink symbolizes innocence and banishing hatred.
