Memorial To Ireland's Only Holocaust Victim

What a terrible turn of events for anyone.
"A memorial to Ireland’s only Holocaust victim Ettie Steinberg has been unveiled at a secondary school in Malahide, Co Dublin.
Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental, who was incarcerated in Bergen-Belsen at the age of nine-years, addressed the students of Malahide Community School following the ceremony this afternoon.
“We have people today that would deny the Holocaust,” he said. “After my lecture if somebody should tell you that the Holocaust was Jewish propaganda you can say: ‘No, we met someone who was there.’”
Mr Reichental then went on to speak about his childhood in Slovakia and his experience in Bergen-Belsen.
“This is a special day,” said Lynne Jackson, chair of Holocaust Education Trust Ireland, adding that it was Mr Reichental’s third visit to the school since he started speaking publicly nine years ago about his time in the concentration camp.
She said the stone memorial to Ettie Steinberg was a way for the school to create a permanent Holocaust memorial.
Steinberg’s family were from Czechoslovakia and came to Dublin from London in 1926. In 1937 she married a Belgian man and later moved to Belgium and then Paris, where she had a son. In 1942 she and her little boy were transported to Auschwitz and killed."

Ummm..why is a statue in a secondary School? Dedicated to one person? In Ireland? Have i missed something?
