N5 History have moved onto Civil Rights and had to guess what their lesson was on today… they worked on their communication skills where one person was the ‘artist’ with their backs to the board 👩‍🎨 and the other the describer! Some great attempts! 👏🏼🎨 @DHS_Social

Local history - From Dumfries and Galloway (Dunscore)

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

17 July 1944 | Jane Haining, a Church of Scotland missionary in Budapest perished in the German Nazi Auschwitz camp.

Her last message to friends was a postcard asking for food. She ended her letter with the words: “There is not much to report here on the way to heaven.”

Jane Haining (b. 6 June 1897) was arrested in Budapest by the Gestapo and later deported to Auschwitz. On 14 May 1944, she was registered in the camp as prisoner 79467.

She was recognized by @yadvashem as Righteous Among the Nations.
