25th AprilVoices of the Holocaust
On Tuesday 6th February, we welcomed the Voices of the Holocaust charity into Croxley Danes to work with our young people. Representatives from the school council, equalities group and Year 9 year group council worked with Cate from the charity in the morning to discuss some of the key events leading up to the Holocaust and how we should be using this memory to impact our lives today. Students were excellent in these sessions showing both historical knowledge and empathy.
All of Year 9, as well as the students from the morning session, were then privileged enough to watch Kindness: A Legacy of the Holocaust - a performance from four actors where they brought real-life testimony of Holocaust survivors to life through their moving production that showed stories of persecution from different groups during the Holocaust. At the end of the performance, the director and writer as well as the actors hosted a question and answer session where students asked questions regarding the peoples’ lives whose stories were being portrayed and also questions about the actors' careers and interest in this charity.
The whole day represented a powerful and thoughtful experience for our students that linked with our curriculum delivery and International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
