After visiting Auschwitz in November the main message for us came from
seeing over 25,000 pairs of the victims shoes. Today, Holocaust Memorial
Day, we ran a “wear your favourite shoes to school” day. Each pupil
(and teacher) wore their own shoes representing individuality showing
that this is something to be valued. Every person is unique and we must
recognise that in today’s society. We need to learn from past mistakes
to ensure a crime such as the Holocaust will never take place
again.
This is a photo of some of the shoes
worn by pupils on the day!
