Why should we remember?

Why Should We Remember? is a collaborative project that brings together Year 9 pupils from state and independent schools. The students, from Hampton School in Middlesex and their counterparts at Hampton Community College, have researched and written a book about the terrible genocides of the last century. In the course of their research they have interviewed survivors and witnesses of the genocides including the Holocaust and the tragic events in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda and, currently, in Darfur.

Alongside these first hand accounts come the thoughts of forty well known figures including Tony Blair, David Cameron, Stephen Fry, Polly Toynbee, Boris Johnson, Niall Ferguson and Jackie Ashley - all of whom give their personal response as to Why we should remember?
