“Once you know you can never forget”

The Star of David

The Crocus Project is a tangible way to introduce young people to the subject of the Holocaust and to raise awareness about the dangers of discrimination and prejudice.  

Why we plant the yellow flowers

Sadness and Hope
       

The aim of this project is to raise awareness about the dangers of discrimination, prejudice and racism.   The yellow bulbs at St. Benedict College Boys Secondary Kirkop were planted in memory of the 1.5 million Jewish children and thousands of other children who died in the Holocaust.  The yellow flowers recall the yellow stars of David that Jews were forced to wear under Nazi rule.  It is very important that we never forget this terrible time in European History between 1933 and 1945.

We must make sure we do not allow anyone or any group of people to murder or harm others because we do not like them or do not agree with their views.
