Holocaust Survivor On the 6th. June, we were privileged to receive a visit from Eva Clark who came to speak to all of our Year 9 students. Eva was born in Mauthausen Concentration Camp in Austria, in April 1945. Eva and her mother were the only survivors from their family, 15 members of whom were killed in Auschwitz: 3 of Eva’s grandparents, her father, uncles, aunts and her 7-year old cousin, Peter. Though still a baby, Eva Clark gleaned much from her mother’s memories and from her subsequent research into her family’s tragic history. It was an unforgettable and moving experience to hear her speaking; she held the Year 9s spellbound for well over an hour.
