Scottish Schools visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau

In conjunction with the HET, Jim Murphy, MP, and Ken Macintosh, MSP, organised the first ever visit by Scottish school pupils to Auschwitz. The aim of the event was to provide Scottish school pupils and teachers with an eye witness account in the build up to the National Holocaust Memorial Day. Participants agreed to share their experiences with fellow pupils and staff, or participate in local Holocaust Memorial Day events in the community. In this way the visit could reach thousands of others. This booklet recalls the vivid recollections of those who participated in the visit.
