The Holocaust – ‘Found Poems’

A huge thanks to P7a for the hard working manner in which they have returned to school.

We are now completing our Unit of Study on World War 2 by focusing on the Holocaust. After having learned some key facts about The Holocaust, we then focused on listening to the testimonies of people who actually lived through this horrific event. We took careful notes and used the EXACT words of a variety of people from different countries and created ‘Found Poems’ out of their memories and feelings. This taught us so much about the world and the way in which we must learn from what has happened before us….

It was such a powerful experience for us to hear what people saw, heard and experienced. The following poems are a snapshot of their authentic stories, told in those people’s EXACT words. We’re proud to keep their stories alive.
