Today we started off the day by reflecting over the past week and writing up what he had done on the board to help us with our blogs.

We were then told we were going to have a great opportunity to have a talk with a man called Solly Irving, who was one of few survivors from the holocaust. This talk was a very moving one as Solly told us about his traumatic experience he had from the age of 9 years old. Imagine that, being 9 years old and going through that. The way he told us really put it into perspective as to what life was like then compared to now and you could really hear the emotion in his voice. He held no paper or device in front of him, nothing written down, it was all just from pure memory and emotion. It was a very upsetting story and even had a few people in tears. I was very proud of this man for coming in, all the way from London to tell us his story and give us factual information on this subject. Very amazing and touching experience that I wont forget.
