The Jean and Jules Kluger Annual Visual Arts and Writing Contest is a writing and visual contest where students throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach submit either a drawing or an essay about the Holocaust. This competition is made possible through the sponship by the Holocaust Documentation Education Center located in Broward County. The theme of the 2022 contest was, “What was the most important lesson you learned from the Holocaust and why?”

Last year, Mr. Sultz’s Honors World History and AP World History classes submitted either an essay or a drawing that answered the prompt. Mr. Sultz introduced the competition to all students, and a student committee, headed by Max Sultz and Nina Janssens, spearheaded an all-student committee who judged the submissions for the competition.
The drawings and essays had to respond to the prompt, and the drawings accompanied an explanation on the back. The essay and the drawings were submitted separately, so the students could choose which contest to enter. For more information, see the contest details online: https://hdec.org/education/contest-entry-details/ |
With great pride, this past May, iPrep (Mr. Sultz) had multiple winners of the Jules Kluger Annual Visual Arts and Writing Contest.

We are not only proud of our winners, but also we are grateful that Mr. Sultz incorporates a creative assignment like this contest to further students’ learning about the Holocaust, which is vital to one’s understanding of hate and discrimination, oppression and injustice, and xenophobia and antisemitism in history. Studying the Holocaust is critical to understanding the importance of upholding today’s democracy and values of peace and equality.
