Capital 6 History trip to Auschwitz to learn about the Holocaust

A small group of Year 12 & 13 students travelled to Poland with Miss Hyde and Mr Pike to visit the city of Krakow and Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II - Birkenau. 

The students were given the opportunity to experience the harsh reality of the Holocaust and visit the main sites.  During the Holocaust 1 300 000 people, mostly Jews, were killed because of their religion and beliefs.  Hans Frank (1944) said "Jews are a race that must be totally exterminated."
