Over half term two of our Holocaust ambassadors were able to participate in the Belsen 75 project which has been organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust and the UCL. This involved a one day visit to the concentration camp and later displaced persons camp of Bergen Belsen in Germany. This was an emotional day for our two students and culminated in a memorial for those that were lost and those that were liberated by British troops 75 years ago.
Along with our two other Holocaust ambassadors, who earlier this year visited Auschwitz, they will begin their legacy project to help share what they have learnt from these visits and encourage the ideals of tolerance and respect for all.
