White Rose Student Essay Contest

The 2008-2009 White Rose Student Essay Contest winners have been announced.

Children in Hiding: Dilemmas and Decisions

This years theme asked students to explore the experience of one Jewish child in hiding and place it in historical context. They were to describe and explain the factors influencing the decision to go into hiding and the dilemmas of daily life. Reflecting on their research, students were to address what they thought was the greatest hardship faced by the child they studied and why.
