Our Year 11 History students had the privilege to travel to the Melbourne Holocaust Museum for their Area of Study 2 Unit on Social and Cultural Change between 1920-1945. Students have been learning about how the Holocaust changed the lives of the Jewish Community during the time of Nazi Party in World War 2.

Student Reflection
“Our Year 11 History class recently visited the Holocaust Museum in Elsternwick, an experience that significantly deepened our understanding of 1900s Germany. The museum's collection of authentic artifacts, provided a truthful and intimate glimpse into the lives of those who lived through that period. This visit offered valuable insights beyond textbooks, making the history further understandable and deeply impactful.” -Isabella I

“This term, my History class went on an excursion to the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Going with my classmates and teacher made it even more special because we got to learn and reflect together. The museum helped me understand how real and painful this part of history was. Some of the things that stood out to me most were the striped pyjamas worn by those imprisoned in the camps and a suitcase that had been taken from someone during the Holocaust. Seeing those items up close made me think about the people connected to them and what they had gone through. Overall, the experience was meaningful, and I’m really glad I got to share it with my class.” - Jamileh T
