This Hums Blog has been created to support students who are studying History, Geography, General Studies, Law, RE and Sociology at Dixons City Academy and Dixons Allerton Academy.
After your visit to the Holocaust Centre I would like you to write a short description of what YOU personally have learnt from our study day. Think about how you could change your behaviour or attitude to show that you have learnt from history!

I have learnt more about the Holocaust thanks to the account of the Holocaust survivor. I know this is a very serious matter and that things like this are still going on today.
It was very interesting and made you think how could the nazis do such evil things to the human race the best part of the day was talking to the holocaust suvivour
The Holocaust was a very interesting trip as there were various pictures and information that was very useful in our studies. We also had the chance to meet a survivor of the holocaust which had very eventful information about it and helps us realise that this did happen and lots of people died. It helped me to understand what people had done to save others by putting themselves at risk. It also showed to me that we could do something to help and that we are not stopping any of this from happening again and we need to help more and stop it as we can change it all together. Also the putting the stone on the pile was was really fun to know that 95% of visitors put a stone on the pile to represent one jewish child die. Amy Booth-Allinson (Atkins) 9b
I thought that the holocaust was really intersting as there were alot of pictures and information i did not know about and made me open my eyes more to the fact that millions of jewish people died. I also thought that the garden was good because it had memorys of people who had died and who were Jewish and the people who helped them and risked their lives. Olivia Oxley 9b
I Though That Going To The Holocaust Center Was A Great Way To Learn. I Enjoyed Learing About The Holocaust Surivors Past As I Felt As If I Could Of Been There. My Best Part Of The Day Was Laying Down A Stone Because I Thought It Was Amazing How Much They Wanted To Reach Their Goal To Say Thanks To All The People That Had Died Even Though They Had Never Met The People.

Hey I thought the Holocaust trip was very interesting beacuse the exhibition was very informative and the memorials made you think about how many people died and how horrific it must have been for them. I also elarnt that 1.5 million children were murdered, 4.5million Jewish people were murdered and around 5 million minors such as homosexuals and disabled were also murdered. The speaker was also very good beacsue you could ask her question sabout the holocaust. It was also quite different that she found alot about her family on the internet.
Going to the Holocaust centre was very interesting as I learnt lots of facts about the Holocaust. However as well as the factual information I picked up from the talk and the exhibition, it taught me some important things for life outside of school as well. It taught me to not lose hope.Rudi Oppenheimer kept on hoping for the best right from the beginning and in the end he managed to escape from the camp. Also sticking by your family. Rudi and his family stuck with each other and in the end it was this that got them out. I learnt that we shouldn't just say, 'Shame on the Nazis,' and leave it at that. We should learn from other people's mistakes and learn from the past to ensure that these things can be put right for the future generation. The pile of stones at the centre showed us how many innocent lives were lost. It was too much to get our heads around that once the pile becomes ten times bigger than it is at the moment, then it will symbolise all the poor innocent Jewish children that died. The videos we watched shone light on the extremes of genocide happening in the world today. It showed me that this isn't over and although it isn't as bad as the Holocaust, we should stop it before it gets to that extreme. We can do this simply by being unselfish and adding a few coins to a collection box. It could make all the difference in the world.
Well done Year 9 some very interesting reflections on your experience. It shows the trip is well worth the journey and the cost. Thankyou for your excellent behaviour and attitude you were a credit to the school :-)
The trip to the Holocaust Centre was moving, because it wasn't just the facts that made me realise how much the whole era had an effect on so many, it was the images and the personal story that we heard from Rudi Oppenheimer. As soon as we approached the centre, there was this atmosphere that kind of settled there, eerie almost but it also had a very personal effect. It caused self reflection and it changed the way I think about the present. If anything, we all still have a lot to learn because genocide still exists. People are still discriminated against. When we look back we think the whole Holocaust was a horrific event that shouldn't have happened, and it was. But aren't we just making the same mistakes now? Pippa Dey, 9A
