Pupils learn about the Holocaust
Saturday 28th January 2012, 11:00AM GMT.
Lessons at a school in Telford took on a serious note when pupils looked at the plight of the Jews as part of National Holocaust Memorial Day yesterday.
Youngsters at the Charlton School, in Wellington, took part in a week-long project studying not only the Holocaust but other genocides that have happened since 1945.
History teacher Jennifer Sawle said Year Nine pupils, aged 13 to 14 years, had been involved in the project.
She said: “We have spent the week looking at the Holocaust and our reactions to it.
“We also investigated modern genocides and the impact they have upon society today.
“Pupils have seen this as very important as there have been around 50 genocides since 1945. In history, pupils have looked at genocides in Darfur and Srebrenica.
“We were also lucky enough to meet Holocaust survivors and ask them our questions.”
“This was a very moving experience and we were incredibly impressed at the thoughtfulness and respect that pupils showed.”
The youngsters continued the theme in other lessons, including geography, art, RE and English.
Their artwork reflected the feelings and emotions that the Holocaust evoked.
Pupils also visited Keele University to see exhibits and attend lectures and workshops about different aspects of the Holocaust and genocide.
