England Team Meet Holocaust Survivors
The National team are also set to visit concentration camp Auschwitz during their stay in Poland, who are joint hosting this summer’s European Championships with the Ukraine.
The Football Association's website:
"It was very moving and very inspirational for us. To come and share their experience with us shows great bravery and character. "As a footballer, you realise how lucky and privileged you are to lead the lives we are leading today. Theirs is a very interesting story and one that we're privileged to hear."Shipper added:
"It was so important to speak to the team because they are role models and people listen to them. Now they have heard a small part of mine and Ben's experiences, hopefully they'll know more and remember."An estimated six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust during World War Two. One and a half million of those were children.
