Year 10 Students’ Holocaust Excursion:

Interacting with Survivors and Artefacts at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum

In an unforgettable educational experience, Year 10 students embarked on a journey through history as they delved deep into the Holocaust at The Melbourne Holocaust Museum in Elsternwick. The excursion, made all the more impactful by the presence of Holocaust survivors Abram Goldberg and Henry Ekert, who offered a profound understanding of this dark period in human history.

Henry and Abe, two remarkable Holocaust survivors, shared their personal stories and insights with our students. Abe started the Melbourne Holocaust Museum to share knowledge of the past and Henry became a surgeon, going on to save many lives. Their presence brought history to life, humanizing the unimaginable experiences of the past. Year 10 students did us incredibly proud by actively engaging with the survivors, asking insightful questions, and showing a deep empathy for their stories. These interactions fostered a profound connection between the generations.

Students had the opportunity to engage in interactive learning with historical artefacts from the Holocaust era, transforming classroom knowledge into a tangible experience. Artefacts included photographs that captured moments of resilience and sorrow, bread cards that symbolized sustenance amid adversity, and a layout of the hidden houses where Jewish people sought refuge from persecution. The presence of fake IDs used to protect identities and authentic Jewish passports added layers of understanding to the struggles faced by Holocaust victims.
