Israeli educational psychologist Haim Ginott writes about a letter that teachers would receive from their principal each year:
I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no person should witness: gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot by high school and college graduates.
So, I am suspicious of education.
My request is this: Help your children become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths or educated Eichmanns. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more human.
Creating a website to honor the artistic legacy of my grandparents, George and Virginia Smith, has been a profoundly rewarding journey that not only celebrates their remarkable contributions to the world of cartoons but also preserves their cherished memories for future generations. Through careful curation of their artwork, personal anecdotes, and interactive features, I aimed to create a digital space that reflects their artistic spirit and creativity. I encourage you to embark on your own journey of honoring loved ones, for it is a beautiful way to keep their stories alive. As you navigate your own projects, remember that every line drawn and every story shared is a testament to the legacy we carry forward. Thank you for joining me in this celebration of creativity, love, and family history; may it inspire you to honor your own legacies in meaningful ways.
