Krakow trip to
Auschwitz
Yr 8
To experience what life was like for soldiers in the
First World War and to visit a number of
commemorative sites. To take part in the centenary
celebrations to commemorate the First World War
which are taking place nationwide.
To experience the two Auschwitz camps and
understand the sheer scale and industrial evil of the
Final Solution. This relates to work they do on the
problem of evil, and explains why the Holocaust has
been a challenge for theologians within both Jewish
and Christian faiths.
The role of the guards in carrying out extermination
orders also throws into sharp relief the issue of
personal responsibility and how ethical theories of
duty can be a defence.
A visit to the Jewish quarter gives the students an
insight into the Jewish experience in its own terms
within the more negative experience of antiSemitism.
A talk by a survivor to help illustrate what life was
really like living through the holocaust as an enemy
of the state.
