Children in the eighth-grade in Apopka, Fla. were traumatized by a holocaust re-enactment they unwillingly participated in.   The school required certain arbitrarily selected students to wear yellow five-pointed stars and then proceeded to treat the marked students, the Jew, if you will, badly.   "Jews" were not allowed to use water fountains, forced to stand in the backs of classrooms, and forced to the backs of lunch lines.   One boy when asked by his father why he was crying replied, "Daddy, I was a Jew today."   The project seems to some parents and others to have been a little too harsh.   Then again, life can be harsh.

I did not see in the reports about the project whether students were:

• had all their belongings taken.
• moved into deplorable, disease causing living conditions.
• required to take days-long train rides in cattle cars standing next to persons who died along the way and hadn't yet fallen to the floor.
• segregated by their apparent health alternately into gas chambers or slave labor camps.
• run up and down the calorie ladder.
• forced to smell the burning flesh of their siblings and parents.

With any luck, when these children grow up, have children of their own and tell them of their really bad day at school, there will be people around who can deny this ever took place.
