Holocaust Memorial

Holocaust Memorial

History students in Hazelwood College recently participated in the Holocaust Education Trust Ireland sponsored Crocus Project. In the course of this project students encouraged by Ms Daly R.E. teacher, with the assistance of Ms Treacy, planted crocus bulbs last autumn as they began to study the Holocaust. Students researched figures involved in the Holocaust, including Fr Maximilian Kolbe who sacrificed himself to save one man to Dr. Aristides De Sousa, who saved thousands of lives. Despite discovering the inhumanity shown to Jews, Poles and others considered by the Nazis to be unworthy of life, the students also discovered the determination of people survive. Uplifting stories included those of the Jews of Denmark, most of who fled to the safetly of Sweden, and the Bielski brothers who fought the Nazis in the forests of Belarus, which inspired the film ‘Defiance’. These second year History students are pictured before their projects researching individuals caught up in the Holocaust and the school memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
