Helen. Thank you very much for answering my request I am very grateful.
Your work is truly inspirational and I give you enormous credit for tackling what must be both a traumatic topic to teach but also a very satisfying one as it serves to teach the youth of what is becoming ever more distant in our history as time marches on. I have never been fortunate enough to attend such a lecture but living only a few hundred yards from our local Synagogue I am well aware of how such atrocities shaped future generations and sadly how prejudice and hate is sadly still alive and well in local communities. What I find dreadful is the fact that my local Orthodox Synagogue has to employ Security Guards each Festival and Saturday and the Jewish Cemetery is permanently locked to stop vandalism.

Lucky enough to hear several survivor accounts, truly inspirational people and so humbling.

Oh my goodness, how sad your Mum and Grandma never knew but amazing that you have found your relatives. It's a miracle your Mum survived as such a small child and shows how different experiences were. Thank you so much for sharing. x

Such an important part of history, thank you for taking the time to tell us about this work you do and for your work in educating future generations so it is never forgotten the terribly tragic time and how this happened as it must never be repeated. X

Oh my, the Lithuanian history of the 20th century is fascinating but heart wrenching.
I've visited sites in Vilna, Kovno and Ponary. In Ponary we met by chance this little lady in her 90's who was full of life, marching off into the forest, our guide excitedly told us she led the local resistance and had spent the war in the forests fighting the Nazis and local troops.

So many books, I'd start off with something like 'When Hitler stole pink rabbit' by Judith Kerr or 'Hitler's canary' by Sandi Toksvig (both true stories) or Once by Morris Gleitzman.
The Holocaust Educational Trust have also produced some family learning material which he might like, het.uk/images/home-l...rning_pack.pdf At Year 6 we tend to focus on the Kindertransport and leave the more traumatic aspects until years 8 or 9.
