DÍA INTERNACIONAL DE CONMEMORACIÓN DE LAS VÍCTIMAS DEL HOLOCAUSTO
LECTURA DE TESTIMONIOS Y REFLEXIONES
LECTURA DE TESTIMONIOS DE NIÑOS Y NIÑAS JUDÍOS
VÍCTIMAS DEL HOLOCAUSTO
El alumnado de 2º A y 4º AB/B ESO de Lengua Castellana y Literatura realizó en el aula la lectura de testimonios basados en las anotaciones de los diarios de los niños y niñas judíos de diversos países de Europa. A través de ellos se pudo hacer un recorrido por los principales pasos que llevaron al intento de exterminio de toda la población judía europea. Gracias a las voces de nuestro alumnado pudimos escuchar de nuevo y dar vida a los sueños, el miedo, la vergüenza, el hambre, la esperanza, la desesperación... de esos niños y niñas atrapados, por el mero hecho de ser judíos, en una de las mayores tragedias de la humanidad. La mayor parte de los textos han sido extraídos del libro A través de nuestros ojos: los niños testimonian el Holocausto de Itzhak B. Tatelbaum (Yad Vashem, Jerusalén, Israel).

Por otro lado, el alumnado de 1º de bachillerato realizó la lectura de pequeños fragmentos extraídos de la obra El hombre en busca de sentido, de Víktor Frankl. Buscaron aquellas frases que les impresionaron más vivamente y que les provocaron algún tipo de reflexión.
LECTURA DE ENTRADAS DE EL DIARIO DE ANA FRANK - INGLÉS 3º ESO
El alumnado de 3º ESO B realizó la lectura conjunta de algunas de las entradas más conmovedoras de El Diario de Ana Frank. Sin duda, este es uno de los testimonios escritos por una niña judía que más trascendencia ha tenido a nivel mundial, siendo traducido a más de setenta idiomas.
Se leyeron tres textos siguiendo el orden cronológico de las entradas escritas por Ana Frank. En ellos se puede observar la terrible segregación impuesta a los judíos tras la ocupación alemana de Holanda. En esa primera entrada, Ana Frank sostiene que los judíos veían sus libertades muy mermadas, pero la situación todavía se podía soportar. Posteriormente, el tono de las entradas cambia completamente en cuanto la familia Frank recibe las primeras noticias de las detenciones y de lo que sucedía en los campos: no había comida, apenas había agua, les afeitaban la cabeza y, lo peor de todo, morían gaseados. La última de las entradas se refiere a las redadas masivas para detener a las familias y se vislumbra el mayor temor de los Frank: no habrá escapatoria.
Dear Diary
June 20th, 1942:
​
“After May 1940 good times rapidly fled; first the war, then the capitulation, followed by the arrival of the Germans, which is when the suffering of us Jews really began. Anti-Jewish decrees followed each other in quick succession. Jews must wear a Jewish star, Jews must hand in their bicycles, and Jews are banned from trains and forbidden to drive. Jews are only allowed to do their shopping between 3 and 5 o’clock and then only in shops which bear the placard ‘Jewish shop.’ Jews must be indoors by 8 o’clock and cannot even sit in the gardens after that hour. Jews are forbidden to visit theatres, cinemas and other places of entertainment. Jews may not take part in public sports. Swimming baths, tennis courts, hockey fields and other sports grounds are all prohibited to them. Jews may not visit Christians. Jews must go to Jewish schools, and many more restrictions of a similar kind. So we could not do this and were forbidden to do that. But life went on in spite of it all. Jopie said to me, ‘I’m scared to do anything, because it may be forbidden.’ Our freedom is strictly limited. Yet things were still bearable.”

Dear Diary,

October 9th, 1942:

“Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all the Jews. Miep told us about someone who’d managed to escape from there. It must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there’s only one toilet and sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and women and children often have their heads shaved. Escape is almost impossible; many people look Jewish, and they’re branded by their shorn heads. If it’s that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilised places where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they’re being gassed. Perhaps that’s the quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep’s accounts of these horrors are so heartrending… Fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I’m actually one of them! No, that’s not true, Hitler took away our nationality long ago. And besides, there are no greater enemies on earth than the Germans and Jews.”

Dear Diary,
November 19th, 1942:
“Mr Dussel has told us much about the outside world we’ve missed for so long. He had sad news. Countless friends and acquaintances have been taken off to a dreadful fate. Night after night, green and grey military vehicles cruise the streets. They knock on every door, asking whether any Jews live there. If so, the whole family is immediately taken away. If not, they proceed to the next house. It’s impossible to escape their clutches unless you go into hiding. They often go around with lists, knocking only on those doors where they know there’s a big haul to be made. They frequently offer a bounty, so much per head. It’s like the slave hunts of the olden days… I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while somewhere out there my dearest friends are dropping from exhaustion or being knocked to the ground. I get frightened myself when I think of close friends who are now at the mercy of the cruellest monsters ever to stalk the earth. And all because they’re Jews.
