Today, January 27th, is the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.

 

You can find out more by reading a study guide for students aged 13 and up that serves

 as a companion to the new animated documentary film entitled, 

“The Last Flight of Petr Ginz”, on the life and artwork of Petr Ginz, a Jewish boy from 

Prague who perished in the Holocaust at the age of 16.

Petr’s writings and artwork can give us insight into the experience of one Jewish teenager and how he dealt with the circumstances he found himself in during World War II. Through Petr's story, we can learn the importance of standing up against hate and prejudice. The study guide was produced by the The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme
