    Published 31/01/25

    On Wednesday 29th of January an assembly was held to highlight Holocaust Memorial Day 2025. The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day was “For a Better Future”. The assembly highlighted the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Jews from AuschwitzBirkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, the 31st anniversary of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia. The assembly allowed students to reflect on the tragedies by antisemitism to families and nations. Students were engaged and shared their thoughts and feelings about these events. The key take away points from the presentation and discussions with the students includes, not taking our freedom for granted, learning about the Holocaust and more recent genocides can help us all to identify the warning signs in the world around us, report (abuse, antisemitism and hate crimes) and take actions to make a better future for all.
