Tragedy and Triumph in History: Two High School Students Explore Near East Relief for National History Day
On Wednesday, January 30th Bronxville High School freshmen Lily Jebejian and Alice Vranka were selected as one of three finalists for ‘National History Day’ in the Lower Hudson Regional Competition. Their project focused on Near East Relief and featured a sample of the typical meal eaten by orphans in NER orphanages (beans and bread), and the oral history of Arpine Terlemezian, an orphan rescued by NER.
