Ruskin Marks Holocaust Memorial Day
On Monday 27th January staff and students at Ruskin joined people around the world to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, with the entire academy community coming together in our school corridors to hold a minute of silence.

This has been done by sharing powerful individual stories from the Holocaust – seeing the faces and hearing about the lives of some of the men, women and children who perished in the Nazi death camps.
