Writing contest info

Essay for the contest should be 500 words or less. Poems have no fixed limit, but don't overdo it. The two topics are:

1) Exploring themes of intolerance, prejudice and hate. Communicate through essay or poem how the tragedy of Sept. 11 reinforces the need to teach our young people about the Holocaust and the consequences of what intense prejudice, hatred, and discrimination can bring about.

2) The Holocaust Experience of Jews from the former Soviet Union. (This does not require that you have some personal connection to this topic.)

Good luck writers!
