Lessons from Auschwitz Project 2021 – S5/6 Pupils! (Miss Osborne)

• Hear directly from Holocaust survivors, who will share their personal experiences, including a live survivor testimony and Q&A
• Virtually visit the most notorious site of the Holocaust, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum; and considering the relevance of this history in today’s world.
