History

Sixth form students from Headlands School visited the National Holocaust centre at Beth Shalom last week as part of their A-level coursework. They were privileged to meet and listen to the story of a Holocaust survivor, Simon Winston, who was born in 1938 and escaped death from a Polish ghetto in Radzivillov (now in the Ukraine) when his father hid gold in a clothing brush and bribed guards to free his family.
