On Wednesday 15 March, our two Year 12 Modern History classes travelled to Darlinghurst to visit the Sydney Jewish Museum.
The program was designed to link in with their studies on the rise of Nazi Germany and the regime’s treatment of minorities.
Students participated in two source-based workshops, and got to handle various artefacts from the time, including medals, passports, photographs and other documents. They then heard pre-recorded testimonies from Holocaust survivors, including Eddie Jaku. Finally, students were taken on small group guided tours of the museum, where they viewed more original artefacts and learned more about the nature and effects of the Holocaust.
