Parkland, Florida
Everything in Room 1214, where Ivy Schamis taught a popular elective on the Holocaust, is exactly as it was on February 14th, 2018: books, years of lesson plans, the big yellow ‘We Will Never Forget’ banner gifted to her by a Holocaust survivor.
She was in the middle of a lesson about the 1936 Berlin Olympics; Nick Dworet had just raised his hand to answer
a question. ‘That very second, that’s when the shots rang out,’ Schamis says. ‘He had literally the last words in my class.’
