We have been written to by the Holocaust Educational Trust where they are offering for two sixth form students to participate in our Lessons from Auschwitz Project. It is a four part course which aims to educate about the events of the Holocaust. The course costs £59 per participant and will include the following:
- An orientation seminar to learn about pre-war Jewish life, hear a Holocaust survivor’s testimony and prepare for the visit to Poland.
- A one-day visit to Poland where local experts guide students through the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.
- A follow up seminar at which participants reflect on their experiences, considering the contemporary lessons of the Holocaust and devise practical way of passing on these lessons.
- The next steps project in which students pass on to their schools and communities the lessons they have learnt.
If you are interested in visiting Poland and completing this course, then please see Mr J asap. The places are offered on the course on a first come first served basis, so you need to be quick.
