Lebenswege von Opfern der Shoah aus Nordrhein-Westfalen
„We, the Six Million“ visited the Gesamtschule Hardt in Mönchengladbach for the second time with our traveling exhibition just before the summer break. Among other things, the students created a biography of Hans-Arno Schmitz, whose mother was deported to Theresienstadt. The exhibition sparked great interest among the students.
The new school year has now begun, and we look forward to working with many more schools on exciting projects!
The exhibition “We, the six Million” was also shown in schools in Israel, for example in the Ort Yad Leibowitz High School in Netanya. The school already has a school partnership with the “Städtische Gesamtschule Stolberg” in Germany. They have done great projects together and are working on a new program for next school year.
After the 7th of October 2023 a lot of schools dedicated projects to students or alumni who were murdered or died in battle in the last 8 months. Ort Yad Leibowitz High School made posters for their three alumni as you can see on the third pictures and planted trees in their names, so that they will never be forgotten.🕯️
Together with Dr. Nikolaj Beier, Deputy Director of the North Rhine-Westphalia office in Israel and ORT School Network we visited the ORT Adivi School in Ashkelon, a college specialized in AutoTech, electrical engineering and hair design classes.
We talked to the principal, teachers and students about the challenges they daily face because of the ongoing war. Ashkelon was, at the beginning of the war, the most bombed city in Israel, and the school had to close until December last year because they didn’t have enough shelters for their students. The current motto of the school is “From survivors to leaders,” and the teachers and students do their best to achieve that.
This school would like to have a school partner with a German school in the near future, and “We, the six million” will try to find a good match for this school.
Dieses Wochenende hat unsere Ausstellung im Zuge des Anne-Frank-Tages 2021 bereits das zweite Mal seit ihrer Entstehung Halt gemacht an der Gesamtschule in Rheydt-Mülfort. Wir waren nicht nur froh bei der Umsetzung dieses besonderen Aktionstages gegen Antisemitismus mitwirken zu können, sondern haben wir eine ganz besondere Beziehung zu der Schule in der Nähe von Mönchengladbach: An ihr würde nämlich maßgeblich unser didaktische Programm erarbeiten und sie war auch die erste Schule die wir Ende 2018 besuchen konnten.
Die Ausstellung verbleibt noch diese Woche in Rheydt-Mülfort, um dort einer neuen Generation von Schülerinnen und Schülern näher gebracht zu werden.
