‘You didn’t think about yesterday, and tomorrow may not happen, it was only today that you had to cope with and you got through it as best you could.’
– Iby Knill, survivor of the Holocaust
Holocaust Memorial Day is One Day – 27 January – that we put aside to come together to remember, to learn about the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and the genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur, in the hope that there may be One Day in the future with no genocide. We learn more about the past, we empathise with others today, and we take action for a better future.
Discover how our College has honoured this important occasion:
At the Primary School…
A special assembly was held for the Preps 4-6, which included a number pauses to encourage the students to reflect and voice their thoughts.
At the end of the assembly, students were asked to write a prayer for the victims and survivors of the holocaust and other genocides, as well as to hope for One Day in the future when genocides will be a thing of the past. The prayers will be passed on to Ms Roberta.
Featured above: “We are Peace” – In honour of Holocaust Memorial Day. Made by our Ambassadors for Change in Prep 6 .
**
At the Secondary School…
A visually interactive exhibition was set up in our Secondary School’s ground floor foyer.
Students also discussed the topic during their lessons. Watch this space for more updates.
**
At the Sixth Form…
“To be passive is to let others decide for you. To be aggressive is to decide for others. To be assertive is to decide for yourself.
You can’t change what happened, you can’t change what you did or what was done to you. But you can choose how you live now.” ― Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible
Students were invited to learn more about the Holocaust by speaking to the librarian about the books featured below.
