The KHS sets an example against forgetting

Discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism were on the curriculum for students in the fifth and ninth grades. The school dog Horst-Kevin was also there and accompanied class 5a. The ZWEITZEUGEN eV association organized workshops and told the survival story of Rolf Abrahamsohn, a Jew from Marl who was persecuted during the Nazi era.

The new cooperation partner of the Catholic secondary school aims to make a stand against forgetting and therefore tells children and young people the life stories of Jews who were persecuted during the Nazi era and who are now old or deceased. The students themselves thus become second witnesses who are encouraged to actively campaign against racism.

Cooperation agreement with responsibility

A permanent cooperation & annual projects

The Catholic secondary school, which is actively committed to fighting discrimination, violence and bullying in the "School without Racism - School with Courage" network, is now entering into a permanent cooperation with the association and is thus becoming a ZWEIGHWITNESS school. On May 6, 2024, the headmistress Bärbel Themann, teacher Sarah Würtz and Romina Leiding signed the cooperation agreement and a plaque was awarded. The Catholic secondary school is committed to carrying out projects every year. The aim is to promote an active culture of remembrance that encourages students to pass on the survival story of a contemporary witness and to actively campaign against racism.
