Holocaust Historian at St Stephens School

November 5, 2018

Year 11 students once again enjoyed a thought provoking visit from Mr Ephraim Kaye.  Mr Kaye is the Director of International Seminars at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem.

Yad Vashem is the national authority in Israel for the remembrance and Yr 11 Students were privileged to have such an estimated expert at our school to enhance their knowledge of the Holocaust.  Students were shown a presentation that encapsulated the idea that people were Upstanders, Bystanders or Perpetrators during the Holocaust.  It was interesting to watch the students pull these ideas apart and realise the vigilance needed in today’s society to be an upstanding citizen.

Once again, we were very grateful to have Mr Kaye visit us from Israel and appreciate his time and expertise.
