Y4: Marking Holocaust Memorial Day 2025

30th Jan 2025

This week, Y4 gathered in prayer to acknowledge Holocaust Memorial Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. 

The children listened intently to the story of a Jewish girl who escaped Prague on the kindertransport just weeks before the Nazi invasion and heard how it felt for her to leave behind the security and love of her family behind as she escaped with just a few treasured possessions.

The children prayed together for the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust and for peace in our world.
