Twentieth Century History  Excursion 

 As part of Unit 1, Twentieth Century History, students were privileged to be able to attend an excursion to the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Elsternwick. Students were given an introduction to the Holocaust. During their visit they viewed a documentary, listened to the testimony of a survivor and toured the museum displays. At the end they were encouraged to reflect on this period of crisis and conflict. Students appreciated the excursion because it helped them to better understand how people’s lives were affected and are still affected, by the Holocaust.
