Remember Auschwitz - Documentary film





These clips are part one and two of a short documentary  detailing the production of "Remember" by the pupils of Finchley Catholic High School and St Michaels grammar school. I believe that this was the first play ever to be performed at Auschwitz. This production has also been performed at theatres, community centres, schools and synagogues and has been highly acclaimed.

I can think of nothing more important at this time than to remind people what happens if we allow the forces of evil and hatred to gain power. The young people who took part in this production described the experience as life changing. It should also be remembered that the Leader of a National party hoping to win its first seat is on record as having denied that the holocaust is a historical fact.

I think that these young people are an inspiration. I hope you agree.
