0115 9404 303School The Nazis & the Holocaust trip to Amsterdam
A trip to WW2 Dutch Battlefields evokes a powerful picture of the time, and ‘recounts’ events mainly on the basis of personal examples that will appeal directly to your students, and with which they can identify.
The trip demonstrates the real meaning of freedom, democracy and human rights to young and old alike and presents a picture both from the Allied and the German point of view, of the combat in Arnhem and Oosterbeek.
