International bestselling novelist Liza Wiemer stopped at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Academy in South Ozone Park on Thursday, May 7.

During her visit, she demonstrated to the students the negative effects of judging someone with just a look.The academy is one of many schools she has visited in the Diocese of Brooklyn to talk about her book, “The Assignment.”

It’s a story based on a real-life event where students refused to take part in a debate about Hitler’s Final Solution.

Wiemer says she hopes to reach each school throughout Brooklyn and Queens so every student can learn how to fight hate.
