MORE than 400 city high school pupils will hear the first-hand account of a Holocaust survivor.
Rudi Oppenheimer will speak to Broughton High School pupils and answer their questions as part of an educational project to help young people better understand the Holocaust.
The visit is part of the Holocaust Educational Trust's programme.
John Cudlipp, religious, moral and philosophical studies teacher at Broughton, said: "It is a privilege for us to welcome Rudi Oppenheimer to our school and his testimony will remain a powerful reminder of the horrors so many experienced.
"We are grateful to the Holocaust Educational Trust for co-ordinating the visit and we hope that by hearing Rudi's testimony, it will encourage our students to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust and make a positive difference in their own lives."
