Pupils leaving Lochaber High School today were led through a tunnel of 70 candles held by sixth form students in a moving commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
And some of the younger pupils at the Fort William school were given a taste of what it would have been like to have been involved in the holocaust.
Oskar Wineberg and Fiona MacEachan, both 17 and from Fort William, travelled to Poland for a day to visit Auschwitz as part of the Lessons from Auschwitz project run by the Holocaust Educational Trust in September.
They also attended seminars in Edinburgh, where they learned about the holocaust and spoke to survivor Eva Clarke, 69, who was born in a concentration camp.
And the pair shared their experiences with second year pupils today.
Fiona said her visit to Auschwitz had been very sad, but she was very glad she had been given the opportunity to go.
She said: “It was something I just felt I had to do and I really enjoyed passing it all on to younger pupils.”
And Oskar said he thought everyone should visit Auschwitz.
He said: “It was a very emotional day. I learned a lot and am glad I could pass it on.
“Some of the second years seemed very interested. I think it really made a big impression on them.” and organised a special activity to help them appreciate what the Jewish victims of the death camps went through.
Fiona and Oskar also organised a special activity to help the younger pupils appreciate what the Jewish victims of the death camps went through.
Drama teacher Jacqi Hume explained that the second years were told to write their names in chalk on their school bags, which were then taken away from them as that was what had happened to people arriving at the death camps.
They then worked through a process to decide which prisoners were sent straight to the gas chambers and which were sent to work camps.
Mrs Hume said: “They were also encouraged to do something, if only in a small way, to stop anything like Auschwitz from happening again.
“If they see someone being bullied, they were told they shouldn’t just be a bystander, but should do something about it and, if they are the perpetrator of bullying, they should stop doing it and think about their actions.”
