Holocaust survivors will recount their experiences during World War Two at a conference hosted by Watford Grammar School for Girls this Friday.
Nine survivors will speak to the entire Sixth Form at the school, in Lady's Close, and about 40 students from other schools and colleges will attend a lecture and take part in workshops during the day.
The event was organised following the success of the inaugural conference during the last academic year.
The conference will begin with a lecture from Professor Richard Evans, chairman of the Faculty of History at Cambridge University.
Students will then take part in workshops examining a range of themes related to the Holocaust, before hearing accounts from the survivors.
