A Holocaust survivor will share his story with pupils from Lochaber High School later this month.
Harry Bibring has been invited to the school in Fort William by sixth year pupils Katie Laidlaw and Lewis Ross, who visited Auschwitz last year.
The 90-year-old is due to speak to pupils on June 21.
Mr Bibring, who was born in Vienna in December 1925, lived there with his parents and sister Gerda until Austria was occupied in 1938.
He has said he felt the change, especially at school when his non-Jewish friends stopped talking to him.
He and his sister were separated from their family and taken to Britain as part of the Kindertransport scheme.
Their parents desperately tried to join them, but it never happened and they were both murdered by the Nazi regime.
Katie and Ross decided to invite Mr Bibring to speak at their school as the final part of a project from the Lessons from Auschwitz initiative, organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust.
The Lessons from Auschwitz programme sends two sixth year pupils from several secondary schools across the United Kingdom, to Poland to visit Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps.
After the visit, participants carry out a Next Steps project where they inform their fellow pupils and their community about what they have learned.
As part of their project, Katie and Lewis have created posters showing quotations from survivors and distributed them across the school.
They have also written articles about their experiences and given presentations about Auschwitz to all second year classes at their school during the week of Holocaust Memorial Day.
The pair said: “This is not only a great opportunity to be part of a community event, but also an excellent chance to learn about one of the darkest periods of humanity’s history, first-hand, from someone who was there to experience it.”
