Pierce, on the occasion of World Holocaust Remembrance Day, organized a series of events this year (2023), culminating on Friday 27 January, a day designated by the UN as the day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust by the Nazi regime, during Second World War.

From Monday, January 23 to Friday, January 27, the creations of XNUMXrd high school students were exhibited in the lobby of the school, resulting from the collaboration with the Department of Museology of the University of Ioannina, under the guidance of Associate Professor Esther Solomon and the exhibition Art in the Holocaust of Yad Vashem. In addition, the school library was converted into a Holocaust Information Center with the most modern and up-to-date publications on the Second World War period. Finally, during the week all students of the school were informed in the English class about the Holocaust, the Greek Jewish communities and the meaning of the terms genocide, hate speech and disinformation/propaganda.

On Friday, January 27, six events took place, one for each class:
