Holocaust Memorial Concert - Prines Road Synagogue - Sunday 20th January
The school choir went to Princes Road Synagogue on Sunday, to watch and perform in a Holocaust Memorial Concert. It was a very moving experience. Candles were lit by concentration camp survivors, in memory of those who died, who do not have families to remember them. The children then sang two songs ‘Esai Ainai’ and ‘We Are The Young’. The remainder of the evening was given to a Polish actor/singer, Yaacov Shapiro who read poems and sang songs of the Polish ghettos. He also told everybody his very tragic life story as a survivor of the Lodz Ghetto.
Our children sang beautifully. Many people came up to the staff of Sudley to congratulate the choirs performance and their excellent behaviour. They were a credit to the school.

The concert was really good. We sang two songs that were called Esah Ainai and We Are The Young. Yaacov Shapiro was a man who survived in a concentration camp and moved to Israel. On Sunday 20th January he told us some poems and sung us some songs about his life. It was really interesting and wish we could go again. Thank you Miss Underwood and all the other teachers who helped in the event, and a special thank you to Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Cowen, who helped us learn the songs.

Last night the choir sang in the Synagogue and we met Yacov Shapiro. In the concert he made us laugh a lot. Shall we tell you what he said …. we started to laugh at him, and then he said are “You laughing because I’m old. You’ll be old someday”. So that’s it from us. We’ll tell you more soon.
