Having learnt about the life story of Holocaust survivor Anne Super through her My Voice life story book, year 7, 8 and 9 pupils at King David were honoured and excited to meet her in person. Thanks to the passionate teaching of the Religious Studies staff, this special event took place when Anne visited the school with the Fed’s My Voice project team on 30 June.Anne read emotive extracts from her book, recalling the trauma of being shoved out of a line and into the arms of a waiting stranger – the milk woman who subsequently hid three-year-old Anne, ensuring her survival.
Pupils impressed Anne with their thoughtful and mature questions, showing a real thirst for understanding and a desire to learn from Anne’s incredible story of resilience and positivity.
“What would you tell your younger self?” enquired one pupil – “Live. Just live. I’ve always felt I have to live everything, do everything, because so many in my family never got the chance”, was Anne’s inspiring response.
When asked if she has ever sought revenge, Anne wisely counselled the young audience “During the war years, I spent my childhood thinking, planning and wishing for revenge. But I eventually realised that revenge and hate just eat you up.”
