Yesterday, Y6 were joined by Zoe from The National Holocaust Museum. The children followed the journey of Leo, a boy who lived in Germany during the rule of Hitler. Leo was a 10 year old boy, who was a Jew, living with his parents and 2 year old sister, Hannah.
He was evacuated using the Kindertransport system, but sadly had to leave his sister behind as she was too young. Zoe brought in artefacts from the museum to help describe parts of Leo’s life. Y6 also watched videos from the point of view of Leo, recounts from people who lived during the time, testimonies, photographs, and propaganda posters to investigate how Jewish people were treated in Nazi Germany, and how the Kindertransport was used.
The children participated excellently throughout and learned a lot.
