Hosted by the History Society & RE department

This year, to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, RE students and the History Society took part in a series of events:

Students watched the film 'where is Anne Frank' which tells the story of Anne Frank and her family and explores the current treatment of refugees, asking us to reflect on the central message of Anne Frank's diary in the 21^st century.

Students were privileged to listen to the testimony of child holocaust survivor Ruth Posner who gave a compelling account of her time in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Students took the time to delve deeper into the theme of 'ordinary people'  and engaged with academically challenging tasks in order to discuss and explore this theme. A special thanks to Ms Lovett for running this session.

Finally, students went on a trip to the holocaust exhibition at the Imperial War Museum and participated in a workshop. Students reflected on the impact the holocaust had on the Jewish community and the importance of continuing to learn about the holocaust today. 

Well done to all of the students and staff who were involved!
