Last week, Grades 4 – 12 and staff gathered for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day Assembly. Led by the Jewish Student Affinity Group, we heard stories of resistance and resilience experienced by numerous families from within our own SCS community. We were also very lucky to have Alice C. ’29’s grandmother in attendance to answer questions from the SCS community about her family’s experiences.

The student presenters spoke about the importance of sharing stories as a way to remember and understand the past. Personal family stories about both the survivors and victims of the Holocaust were recounted for our community; before each story, a mourning candle was lit to honour the family’s ancestors, and all victims of the Holocaust.
 
As the personal family histories were shared, our community was reminded that, “when we hear about the Holocaust, the words often associated with this persecution are ‘never forget’…a reminder to not only honour those who have suffered, but also ensure that the pain and lessons of the past are passed onto future generations…we carry the responsibility of honouring those untold stories and ensuring they are never forgotten.”
