Last week, our students engaged in a powerful and moving incursion with the Adelaide Holocaust Museum. The visit was made especially meaningful by guest speaker Andrew Steiner, a Holocaust survivor, who shared his personal story and reflections. Hearing his experiences firsthand offered students a rare and deeply human perspective of the Holocaust, one that inspired empathy, compassion, and meaningful discussion.

We also extend our gratitude to Tomas, the main speaker, as well as to volunteers Peter, Dana, and Jeffrey, for generously sharing their time, knowledge, and experiences with our students. Their work plays an important role in ensuring that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten.

The session explored the stories of several survivors and highlighted the courage of those who chose to stand against injustice, demonstrating kindness and bravery in the face of great adversity.

This valuable learning experience supports our HASS curriculum by connecting historical understanding with real-world values, encouraging students to reflect on the importance of humanity, resilience, and moral courage.
