Pupils visited the National Holocaust Centre and Museum. There, they experienced 'The Journey' exhibition, which tells the story of a young German Jewish boy who travels to England on the Kindertransport, fleeing Nazi persecution. They also met with Holocaust Survivor Susi Bechhofer and asked her questions about her experience as a Kindertransport evacuee.
Webster Primary School pupils also visited Westminster Abbey, where they met other Holocaust survivors and took part in a memorial service.

The National Holocaust Centre and Museum added images and descriptions of their collections to the Yarn library to demonstrate how schools could use these resources in their Holocaust education activities and to construct their own Yarn stories.

Pupils then produced their own artwork, poems, diary entries and reflections on everything they had learnt.
