The Lagan College Year 13 History class had the immense privilege of meeting Susan Pollack and hearing her harrowing story of how she narrowly survived the Holocaust. Susan was a member of a Hungarian Jewish family from a village called Felsogod in Hungary.

Her family were made to identify their faith by wearing Jewish stars. They were transported to a Ghetto, a sealed in area of a town to force Jews within. She remembers her parents handing her a tissue filled with some of their gold teeth to throw out as they felt they would be identified wrongly as wealthy.
