Isi Metzstein Built our Church
In 2024, pupils at St Andrew’s and St Bride’s High School in East Kilbride produced two films. The first film is about the architect, Isi Metzstein’s journey to Scotland on the Kindertransport in 1939.
The second film explains the learning journey that the pupils undertook. Pupils incorporated some of the testimonies Isi and his wife Dany had previously recorded for Gathering the Voices into their film.
