Student address MSPs as Scottish Government pledges increased funding for Lessons from Auschwitz Project
On 18th January 2012, two Holocaust Educational Trust Student Ambassadors addressed the Scottish Parliament on the importance of remembering the Holocaust. Delivering the ‘Time for Reflection’ message in the week before Holocaust Memorial Day, Dominic Bradley and Katie McKenna (formerly of St Ninian’s High School in East Dunbartonshire) stressed the importance of speaking up and speaking out against prejudice today. Video of their address to the Parliament can be seen below.
Earlier in the day the students met with Dr Alasdair Allan, Scotland’s Learning Minister, who announced increased and renewed funding for the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project in Scotland.
