Y6 History - Holocaust Museum

Date: 9th Feb 2024 @ 1:04pm

During the visit, the children embarked on a “journey” at the museum. We took a step back in time to Nazi Germany. The “journey” told the story of Leo, a 10-year-old German Jewish boy, growing up in Nazi governed Berlin in the 1930’s. His family made the brave choice to send him to safety on the Kinder transport as a child refugee to the UK. Leo’s story poses the big life questions. Who are we? What gives us identity? How do our choices affect others?  These questions will now be explored during our PHSE learning back in school. 

In a thought-provoking tribute, the children were also able to place a pebble on the memorial to remember the 1.5 million children who lost their lives during the Holocaust.
