At the center of Ashley Crose’s AP History classroom at Saguaro High School in Scottsdale is a picture of Elie Wiesel — a Holocaust survivor, author, professor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Under it, is a quote from Wiesel that reads:
“When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.”
Today, that witness is Rise Stillman, a 94-year-old resident of Scottsdale.
“I said what’s a crematorium? I’ve never heard of a crematorium. She said that’s where your family is being burned.”
Stillman, a Czechoslovakian-born Jew, is recounting painful eight-decades old memories, some she’s never told before from her time at Auschwitz.
