During this initial phase, I had the privilege of hearing a Holocaust survivor, Eva Clarke, share her testimony. This experience serves as a foundational step in the program, where we delved into the history of pre-war Jewish life and begin to prepare ourselves for the upcoming visit. (Click on Eva above for more info).
Our journey takes us to Poland for a day, where we embark on a poignant tour of authentic Holocaust sites and engage with museum exhibits that provide profound insights into this dark period of history. Sites included: The town of Oświęcim (Aushwitz), Auschwitz-I and Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Follow-up:
Upon our return, we engaged in deep reflection, considering the visit's impact and contemplating the enduring relevance of the Holocaust's lessons in the contemporary world. This phase encourages us to connect the past with the present.
In the final phase, we were inspired to take action. We designed and executed plans to disseminate the invaluable lessons we have learned and actively contribute to the prevention of prejudice and racism in our society.
The overarching goal of the LFA Project is to explore the timeless, universal lessons of the Holocaust and underline their significance in today's world. Through this program, the LFA Project aims to equip young people with a greater understanding of the Holocaust, emphasising the dire consequences of allowing prejudice and racism to take root in society
Shortly after becoming a Welsh Ambassador for the HET. I was invited to view the shortlisted designs for the new UK National Holocaust Memorial and Education Centre to be located in Westminster. Ambassadors play a crucial role around the UK in ensuring the Holocaust is remembered and I was delighted I could attend this event and have the opportunity to put forward feedback on the designs.
Very pleased to announce that I’ll be taking part in a short course on ‘Understanding Antisemitism in the UK’ with the Holocaust Educational Trust. Looking forward to developing my knowledge and confidence in identifying different forms of antisemitism ranging from stereotypes to antisemitic violence.
