Year 11 Modern History Visit to the Holocaust Institute of WA
Our two Year 11 Modern History classes visited the Holocaust Institute of WA in Yokine as part of their Unit 2 study of the Rise of Na**sm.
The visit was a highly moving and thought-provoking experience for all students. Through an immersive walk through of the museum, students encountered photographs, videos, survivor testimonies, personal stories and artefacts, with exhibits carefully designed to create the sense that visitors were witnessing the events unfolding in Germany during the years of N**i rule.
For many students, the experience brought a new and deeply personal dimension to the history they have been studying in the classroom.
The students returned to school with a deeper understanding of the significance of the Holocaust and a strong appreciation of why these stories must continue to be remembered and shared. For our Year 11 historians, it was an important reminder of the responsibility that comes with studying the past; to remember, to question, and to learn from history.
