Before the celebration of the 66th Anniversary of Victory in the World War Two the traditional museum lessons took place in the Ohr Menachem school of Nikolayev in the school museum for Holocaust studies. It is worth mentioning that boys and girls themselves were the teachers for their classmates and younger school boys and girls. Such lessons help pupils to involve in the museum work and prepares them for the excursions for the guests of the school.
The pupils are very serious while preparing for these excursions. They learn terminology, work in small groups and train for the excursions.
Of special interest among the pupils are the exhibits dedicated to the memorial events and the work of pupils on different projects. Additional marks are given to them for good questions for guides and answers.
The most successful excursions this year were the excursions guided by the pupils of the 5th form Bryukhan’ Yana and Yermak Katya who with no effort drew the people’s attention to the exhibits, answered tricky questions and spoke of the work on the remembrance of the Jews who died during the time of the War and the Holocaust in the Nikolayev region.
The school administration also expresses gratitude to the pupils of the 5th form Zhdanova Valeriya, Fomichenko Yekaterina, Dolovaya Ada, Viznyuk Andrey and Bazaliy Yevgeniya for the active participation in the museum lessons and special gratitude to the teacher of history Yelena Kalugina for the organization of these lessons.
