Sixth Formers Sian Dobbs and Matt Shaw visited Aushwitz for a day in November as part of the 'Lessons from Auschwitz' Programme. This post follows an excellent assembly they presented with Tom Dickerson on Holocaust Memorial Day.
65 years on from the liberation of Auschwitz, and we are facing the fact that soon there will be no one left to pass on there first hand accounts what happened. Auschwitz will always be associated with the worst sins of humanity, and with good reason as over 1.5million people lost their lives there, for no other reason than they didn’t fit with one person’s ideals. The Holocaust, however can also be associated with the one of the greatest qualities of mankind: hope. “Legacy of Hope” is this year’s theme for Holocaust Memorial Day, the intention being to illustrate the extraordinary tales of holocaust survivors, in an attempt to ensure that in the future such acts will never occur again.
