A message to Students

Welcome to the Ivor Perl BEM Holocaust Education Course!

Ivor Perl was just 12 years old when he first arrived at the gates of Auschwitz II Birkenau and by a series of miracles he survived.

Ivor’s experience isn’t just a lesson for the world about what happens when hate is allowed to spread.

It’s also a shining example of someone who suffered unimaginable loss and then went on to re build and enjoy the good things in life, in a country he arrived in as a 14 year old refugee.

Before you start the following lessons, take some time to look at the Timeline on the Lemon Soul Website and have a think about how, in a relatively short period in Human History, the terrible events of the Holocaust unfolded.
