Holocaust Survivor – Ike Alterman at MHS

This week over 300 Year 9 students and many staff had the honour of listening to Holocaust survivor, Ike Alterman, share his life story, as part of a visit organised by the History department and The Fed (the leading social care charity for the Greater Manchester Jewish community). Ike is one of 42 Holocaust survivors and refugees resident in Greater Manchester who have worked with The Fed as part of the My Voice project, each producing a book of their life story. Students in Year 9 have been learning about the Holocaust through 5 of the My Voice stories, so it was a wonderful opportunity for them to meet Ike and hear his story of survival in three camps, including Auschwitz-Birkenau.
