Letters to Rose Presentation
Mrs. Rose Sherman Williams, a Holocaust survivor, spoke at LEE High School on the evening of January 8, 2020. She shared her story of determination and resilience with the LEE community. All in attendance had an opportunity to speak to Rose personally after the presentation and to take photos with her.
