As part of Human Rights Education, our school participated in a competition organized by the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs on the topic: “The Holocaust and the Greek Jews”. Our students studied historical and literary texts, read survivors’ testimonies, visited historical sites, interviewed people, and created three short films.
We are pleased to announce that all of our students’ films have excelled in the competition, and if the conditions allow it, the participants will travel to the Auschwitz Museum.
