Montreal West Island students learn about the Holocaust
The paperclip played an important role in the Second World War – it represented sticking together until the Nazis caught on and banned them.
“It was a really devastating time in history and we want to make sure that everyone knows what happened and we want to promote a kinder future,” said student Alexandra Butler.Because the Holocaust is a sensitive subject, the school decided the girls could present a slide show to Grade 4, 5 and 6 students and come up with other ideas for younger children.
“We read a book about kindness for and we made a little craft with them,” said student Amelia Altmann. “They cut out hearts and today they are getting a paperclip and they are going to put it on their shirt,” she added.Teachers helped but say it was really the four students who put everything together.“We guided them and they went off with it and did their own thing,” said Grade 6 teacher Lucy Ferracane.
“We’re happy to be able to honour the day because of these students,” added Grade 6 teacher Melissa Dykeman.
