STUDENTS from Queen Elizabeth School, Kirkby Lonsdale, will hear testimony from Holocaust survivor, Joanna Millan as part of a visit organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust (HET).

The testimony will be followed by a question and answer session to enable pupils to better understand the nature of the Holocaust and to explore its lessons in more depth.

The visit, on Tuesday, is part of the Holocaust Educational Trust’s extensive all year round Outreach Programme, which is available to schools across the UK.

Rob Sanders, RE Teacher at Queen Elizabeth School. said: “It is a privilege for us to welcome Joanna Millan to our school and her testimony will remain a powerful reminder of the horrors so many experienced. We are grateful to the Holocaust Educational Trust for co-ordinating the visit and we hope that by hearing Joanna’s testimony, it will encourage our students to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust and make a positive difference in their own lives.”
