NEWS / 20 October 2021

Transition Year and Third Year students as part of The Crocus Project, 'an inclusive project of remembrance for young European citizens about the Holocaust' led by Holocaust Education Trust Ireland (HETI), planted yellow crocus bulbs in memory of one and a half million Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust and thousands of other children who were victims of Nazi atrocities.

Crocuses bloom at the end of January or early February, around the time of International Holocaust Memorial Day. This project is part of learning about the Holocaust and issues of racism and discrimination, both past and present, with students engaging as active promoters of more just, fair, inclusive, and sustainable societies.

The HETI Crocus project is for young people over the age of 10 to remember all the children who perished in the Holocaust.
