“How Saba Kept Singing” traces the journey of Holocaust survivor David Wisnia as he returns to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and uncovers his past.

Through these classroom resources, students will learn about the development of the nation’s space program, the causes of the Challenger and Columbia accidents, and how NASA responded.
