  1. Mrs. Hui-
    Hello, I came across your blog while trying to find a copy of Elie Wiesel’s story “The Watch”. I see that this post is from 2016, but I do urge you to reconsider the image you include in the Introduction Sheet. It includes a caricature that students could mistake as an offensive stereotype of a Jewish person.

    • Hi Jon! Thanks for letting me know, I have removed the picture :).
      Please let me know if you see anything else that ought to be changed!
