Liverpool Football Club hear from Holocaust survivor

Liverpool FC's young players were paid a special visit by the Holocaust Educational Trust this week as Holocaust survivor Renee Salt visited the Club's Academy to speak to the Under 14, Under 15, Under 18 and Under 23 squads.

Renee spoke about her experiences during the Holocaust before taking questions from the youngsters at the Academy.

On the visit from the Holocaust Educational Trust, Liverpool U23 defender Tom Brewitt said:

"It is an honour for the lads to be able to listen to Renee's story to understand the distressing experiences during the Holocaust.

It is really important that we are all educated on what happened during this period and listening to Renee was a real privilege for everyone."

Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, who also led a discussion with the players in Kirkby, said:

"We are delighted to be working with Liverpool Football Club to give their Academy teams the opportunity to hear from a Holocaust survivor.

Renee Salt's incredible story will hopefully be something that will always stay with them as they embark on their careers, and an educational lesson they will never forget."
