To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, we took 30 Year 9 students from More Able RE and History to a Human Rights Workshop to watch the film ‘One Life’ in Chichester.

Here are their thoughts:

During the workshop I really enjoyed how the woman incorporated learning about perpetrators, victims, bystanders and resisters because a large part of the movie focused on who was playing these roles. For example Nicky, the protagonist would have been a resister and the children he saved would have been victims. While watching the film I liked how it showed him in his old age and how the amazing things he’d done in the past affected him so many years later, especially the part when he meets many of the people he helped rescue again.

I really appreciated watching One Life. It was very emotional and it really gave everyone a clearer and a more visual understanding of the impacts and suffering that the people had to go through. It also gave us information about what actually happened during the war. It is a more visual way to get us emotionally closer and attached to the past than just hearing about it and picturing it ourselves. I also enjoyed the workshop because we got to do some group discussions and got to learn more about the past. I also enjoyed reading the articles and matching up the number with the people in the image that we received. I really appreciated this day and I found it very historical and interesting.

The students engaged confidently with the complex issues, making the workshop a credit to the school.
