On the 22nd November, 6th year students and teachers gathered together to listen to Tomi Reichental, a survivor of the Holocaust, speak about his experiences at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II.
The Holocaust was a period in the Second World War during which millions of people, particularly those of the Jewish faith, were captured and imprisoned in concentration camps throughout Europe. Tomi Reichental was born in Slovakia in 1935. He was a victim of bullying during his childhood because of his religion. His father was sent to Auscwitz concentration camp, but he managed to escape by jumping from the carriage to freedom in the forests.
