Year 9 students welcomed Seymour Kelly to Myton this week, to hear about his late mother, Lushka Kelly née Klapholz’s story of survival during the Holocaust. Seymour’s presentation brought Lushka’s experiences to life, through family photos, his personal memories, and also video interviews with his mother. Year 9 students have been studying the Holocaust in their history lessons and hearing this individual and unique story of a Holocaust survivor reminds us not only of the trauma and horror of the event, but also teaches us about resilience, hope and the strength of the human spirit, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
