Pupils see horrors of death camps.
(From The Journal)
Byline: Sam Wood
THE sheer scale of the death is hard to comprehend. Before the Second World War, the Polish town of Oswiecim had about 8,000 Jews in a vibrant community, 60% of the population.
By the time the war finished, there were less than half a dozen left. Near Oswiecim is the Nazi-built Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp where at least 1.5m people, mainly Jews, were murdered.
On Tuesday, 200 pupils from the North East travelled to Poland to visit the site and learn about the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.
Run by the Holocaust Educational Trust, the trip involved pupils from all over the region, including Newcastle, North and South Shields, Gateshead, Sunderland and Northumberland.
David Anderson, 17, a pupil at St Cuthbert's School in Benwell, Newcastle, said he found it hard to comprehend what happened in the camps. "I'm just speechless, the size of the camp is shocking, it stretches away for miles, it is impossible to process what happened here," he said.
