AIMS:

We are working on a set of European/International Lesson Plans about the consequences of the totalitarianism in the XX Century, in the WWII and in the Spanish Civil War, with emphasis on the Human Rights like the concentration camps during the Holocaust (Shoah) and the current consequences of the Spanish Civil War (Law of Historical Memory), and the resistance movement of people who thought other world and reality was possible. It means our main purpose is to make our students aware of the importance of critical thinking and political and social activism in the construction of the EU through the European History and the development of Human Rights against intolerance and totalitarianism in order to create pedagogical tools to offer a new perspective on the extermination: from Collaboration, Indifference and Resistance in response to the new rise of radical-right parties in Europe.

Participation of 28th High Scool of Thessaloniki in the "Righteous Among the Nations" award ceremony

Our school participated in the “Righteous Among the Nations" award ceremony, organized by the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the Embassy of Israel in Greece and the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki and attended by Ambassador, Irit Ben Abba. The ceremony took place at the Mayor Hall of Thessaloniki on April 27th . The award was bestowed on the offsprings of Stavros and Vasiliki Oikonomakos who rescued a two-year old girl, Victoria, during Nazis occupation of Greece. Having interviewed Victoria Benouzilio, a vivid, 72 year-old lady, 15 students of our school under the direction of the teacher Z.Spanos presented a very moving performance based on the rescue story.
