Video Documentary Worksheet: “The Children who Fought Hitler”<\/a><\/strong> (could be used as an alternative video for students who feel uncomfortable watching the ‘Holocaust’ documentary)<\/p>\n

This is a documentary telling the forgotten story of a heroic battle fought by the children of the British Memorial School to help liberate Europe from the Nazis. The school served a unique community of ex-First World War soldiers and their families living in Ypres in Belgium who lovingly tended the war graves. Steeped in ideals of patriotic service and sacrifice, many pupils and ex-pupils refused to surrender to the invading Nazi forces. Three surviving school pupils tell their extraordinary stories of resistance, illustrated with rare archive film.<\/p>\n
