NATIONAL ESSAY CONTEST WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Mark Salomon, son of Foundation supporter Richard A. Salomon, recently was named a first place winner in the Holocaust Remembrance Project, a national essay contest for high school students.

The contest, sponsored by the Holland+Knight Charitable Foundation, is designed to encourage and promote the study of the Holocaust. Participation in this project encourages students to think responsibly, be aware of world conditions that undermine human dignity, and make decisions that promote the respect and value inherent in every person.

You can read Mark's winning essay on the Holland+Knight Web site. Congratulations, Mark!
