Panel 1: Choices

We make choices every day of our lives. Do we choose to stand up for what is right even if it gets us into trouble? Or do we just follow the crowd? Would we stand up to the bully of the class or play it safe?

History shows us that certain choices determined whether people lived or died. This exhibition is about the choices that young people made in difficult situations.

The exhibition looks at one of the darkest periods in history: the Holocaust. During this period, six million Jews and millions of others, believed to be 'undesirable' were murdered by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party all over Europe. This might have never happened if ordinary people had made different choices when Adolf Hitler began to rise to power in the 1920's and 1930's.

We will look at the choices young people made in the 1930's and 1940's. We will also look at the choices young people have to make today.
