KDL pupil wins Chapman competition
King David Linksfield pupil Shiri Kaplan has won the Chapman University of California’s annual Holocaust Creative Writing Competition in 2021 for a poem submitted while the school was learning online.
The competition requires participants to respond creatively to Holocaust-survivor testimony on the “1939” website, using art, dance, poetry, song, or an essay.
Chapman University receives entries from more than 50 countries worldwide, and the first prize is a week-long trip to Chapman University for the pupil to attend an internationally-acclaimed Holocaust course.
