In Pueblo, there was a special honor Thursday for Holocaust survivor. Lili Susser received an honorary diploma from the McClelland School during a school graduation.

When she was younger, Susser was taken to an Auschwitz concentration camp and never finished school. The school's 8th grade class wanted to give Susser the diploma for all her hardships.

Susser said it was a wonderful award, which she will always cherish. She urged the students to stay in school and learn all they can.
