The prime minister has praised the commitment of student ambassadors who work to preserve the memory of those who died in the Holocaust.

David Cameron spoke with Holocaust survivor Freda Wineman as well as Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) student ambassadors William Pinder and Hannah Hardman during a meeting to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, which took place on Sunday (January 27).

William and Hannah are students at St Cecilia’s School in Wandsworth, London, and visited the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau last year as part of the HET Lessons from Auschwitz project.

Since their visit, they have created a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust as part of their work to pass on the message of what they have seen. They also made presentations to their school and a short film.
