Palestine and Auschwitz

You may have read in the Mourne Observer about two of our A level students, Rachel Skillen and Bronagh Magee making a presentation on Auschwitz to a group of Palestinian students in Dublin. The Palestinian students were part of a group preparing for encounters with a group of Jewish students. The Shimna girls were able to present a real insight into the significance of Auschwitz within Jewish culture following their visit to Poland in June. Their presentation forms part of the follow up work they will undertake to pass on the lessons they learnt at Auschwitz.
