Year 7 Theatre Trip

15 Jun Year 7 Theatre Trip

Since January, Year 7 students have been part of a project in London which was organised by The Holocaust Educational Trust. Students have been reading ‘The Children of Willesden Lane’ in form time which is a true story about a young girl, Lisa Jura who settled in London as part of the Kindertransport scheme in the Second World War, she settled in London after escaping persecution in Vienna.  This year is the 80^th anniversary of the Kindertransport which saved 10,000 Jewish children between 1939 and 1945.

On Tuesday 12^th June the sun was out and Year 7 students travelled to central London and had lunch in St James’s Park.  We then went to Central Hall Westminster and watched the performance of ‘The Children of Willesden Lane’ which was told through images, readings and music performed by the daughter of Lisa Jura, Mona Golabek.  The Holocaust Educational Trust’s aim is to ensure that the stories and experiences of kindertransport refugees, and refugees around the world, are remembered and shared far and wide.
