We were honoured to visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland. Each year, we visit the former concentration camp to encourage our pupils to consider, and learn from, the events of World War II. By teaching the history of the camp, we hope to highlight the dangerous consequences of extremism.
In helping our pupils to draw parallels between the extremism that facilitated the creation of the camps and the rising populism of our own times, we hope to impart the vital importance of tolerance and understanding.
A moving, thought-provoking experience for everyone who visited.
