Eva Schloss Keynote Presentation
St Paul’s was privileged and honoured to welcome Eva Schloss MBE on Wednesday 12th October 2022, who gave a Keynote Talk to the Sixth Form History and Religious Education students. Eva is an Austrian-English Holocaust survivor, memoirist and stepdaughter of Otto Frank, the father of Margot and diarist Anne Frank. Eva gave an incredibly moving account of her family’s life story, imparting to her audience, first-hand, what life was like growing up in a Jewish family leading up to and during World War II; recalling the horrors of the Holocaust and then, how bit-by-bit, they tried rebuilding their lives after the devastation that ripped Europe apart. You could hear a pin drop in the room during this extraordinary presentation! Thank you Eva for taking the time to come to our school and recount your story to our young adults, which has left a lasting impression on us all and will continue to promote ethical discussions within Religious Education and History lessons in the years to come.
