Tuesday, September 11, started off like any other day at Stuyvesant High
School, located only a few blocks away from the World Trade Center.
The semester was just beginning, and the students, faculty, and staff
were ready to start a new year. But within a few hours on that Tuesday
morning, they would share an experience that would transform their
lives--and the lives of all Americans.
This powerful play, written by students of Stuyvesant High School based
on their interviews with the school community, remembers those who were
lost and those who were forced to witness this tragedy. Here, in their
own words, are the firsthand stories of a day we will never forget. This
collection helped shape the HBO documentary In the Shadow of the
Towers: Stuyvesant High on 9/11.
