Holocaust Workshop

On Tuesday, 28th March, forty Year 9 students travelled to the University of Huddersfield and attended a workshop at Holocaust Centre North. 

Year 9 had been studying the Holocaust over previous weeks, discussing why and how the Holocaust happened. The University’s workshop gave us the opportunity to deepen our understanding and engage with some new and challenging ideas. During the morning session, Year 9 considered the impact of anti-Semitic propaganda in Nazi Germany. We also spent time discussing the objects and displays in the exhibition. After lunch, we attended a workshop which looked at the impact the Holocaust has had on post-war human rights legislation.

University staff were keen to state afterwards just how impressed they were with our students. Their depth of understanding, knowledge and sensitivity was clear throughout the day. Mr Herbert, Mrs Lucas and myself were exceptionally proud of Year 9 and the manner in which they represented our school.
