Through Their Eyes: Grade 6 Students Reflect on the Holocaust
In this episode, we sit down with students from Pierre Elliot Trudeau School—Beatrice, Massimo, Azhana, and Simone—four thoughtful and articulate Grade 6 voices, joined by Rocco Speranza, student animator at the EMSB. Together, we delve into their journey of learning about the Holocaust.
We explore the significance of Holocaust education, reflecting on what the students knew beforehand, the moments that left the deepest impressions, and why acknowledging the mistakes of the past is essential for a better future. Themes of respect, acceptance, inclusion, and understanding are woven throughout their reflections, highlighting the lasting impact of this powerful educational experience.
Join us for a compelling conversation about the role of history in fostering empathy, awareness, and positive change.
