  • Brooke Weston students visit Auschwitz

    Published 28/03/17

    Two Year 12 students, Brooke Gray and Albert Nyarko-Agyei, visited Auschwitz as part of a project organised by The Holocaust Trust to educate them on the Holocaust and the lessons to be learned from it today.

    The Holocaust Educational Trust was established in 1988 and works in schools, universities and the community to raise awareness and understanding of the Holocaust. They run an annual project taking more than 200 students from 16-18 years old from secondary schools and colleges across the country to Auschwitz in Poland.

    The Holocaust was the mass murder of six million Jews and millions of other people leading up to, and during, World War II. The killings took place in Europe between 1933 and 1945 organised by the German Nazi party which was led by Adolf Hitler. The largest group of victims were Jewish people where nearly 7 out of every 10 Jews living in Europe were killed.

The expedition costs £3,495 and students have each taken on the challenge to raise the money themselves through school events, raffles and sponsorship. This is a huge undertaking for anyone and requires a great deal of organisation and motivation from every student.
