We invite school bookings for this special event for secondary school pupils, in the lead up to Holocaust Memorial Day.
For this event, we are honoured to be hosting speakers whose parents were survivors of the Holocaust, and who made a life in Scotland. As many of those who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust first-hand are no longer with us, we now look to the second generation to continue sharing their stories. This will be a very special opportunity for pupils to hear these stories as told by those closest to the survivors. The pupils will have the opportunity to ask questions, and will be able to share what they have learned with their fellow pupils back at school for Holocaust Memorial Day.
The programme for the day is as follows:
10.00-11.30: A tour of Garnethill synagogue, the ‘Scotland a Sanctuary’ exhibition about the Holocaust period, and a chance to view original archival material from the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre
11.30-12.00: Break with refreshments provided
12.00-1.30: Three or more second generation speakers, with time for questions. The most up to date speaker information can be found on our website
We can accommodate up to 8 pupils per school, and the price of a ticket is £10 per pupil. We are part of the Scottish Government's Heritage Travel Bursary Scheme and acceptance of a travel bursary application is guaranteed for this event. Information is available on our website or by contacting us directly. To book, please email us.
