On 27th January 2021 Tallis remembers Holocaust Memorial Day.
During this period students will be considering their reflections on Holocaust remembrance from last year and the importance of tolerance and celebration of diversity in our school and wider communities. The following four points outline what you are guided to do.
- Students should watch and consider the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust ; Learning from the Past video before watching and considering Ms Evans's Holocaust Remembrance Day Assembly and the video and audio productions last year by the Tallis Media team. Students should think hard about what they have learnt about Holocaust and Genocide remembrance and the reasons why it is important to celebrate diversity. Finally they should watch and think about the "Stopping Hate Speech" video.
- During the week leading up to Wednesday 27th January many organisations and the country at large will be remembering the 76th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the Holocaust more generally. Students should think hard and make a connection between this remembrance and why it is important to celebrate diversity today.
- Finally whilst your thinking enjoy a performance of ‘Benedictus’, from The Armed Man by Karl Jenkins.

Finally here is a performance of ‘Benedictus’, from The Armed Man by Karl Jenkins. It pays homage to the victims of the Kosovo crisis, and is in truth an ‘anti-war’ piece. It seems appropriate as an homage to victims of conflict. I hope you like it, and that it offers inspiration for bringing your Holocaust Remembrance Day Activities to a close.
