A HISTORY lesson was brought to life for pupils at a Kidderminster school as they listened to the powerful testimony of a Holocaust survivor.
Rudi Oppenheimer, whose parents were among the 70,000 people who died in the Bergen-Belsen Nazi concentration camp, visited Baxter College as part of a programme run by the Holocaust Educational Trust.
His story was followed by a question and answer session to enable pupils to better understand the nature of the Holocaust and to explore its lessons in more depth.
Baxter College principal Tim Waites said: “It was a privilege for us to welcome Rudi Oppenheimer to our school and his testimony will remain a powerful reminder of the horrors so many experienced.
“We are grateful to the trust for co-ordinating the visit and we hope that by hearing Rudi’s testimony, it will encourage our students to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust and make a positive difference in their own lives.”
