Holocaust survivors

The Holocaust Educational Trust arranges for Holocaust survivors to visit hundreds of schools, colleges and other organisations across the UK each year to deliver their personal testimony.

Survivor testimony forms a key component of effective Holocaust education by putting a human face to history. Many students describe the experience of hearing a survivor tell their personal story as ‘the most memorable lesson of the year’.

Next Generations

Through our Next Generation Programme, the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors are now offering their perspectives by sharing their personal connections and the generational impact of the Holocaust. They continue to offer a human link through sharing their individual stories, which continues to inspire young people to carry these stories forward and want to learn more.

Lesson plans and resources are provided for preparatory and follow-up sessions. We also offer online sessions.

Holocaust Educator Workshops

Our trained Holocaust educators deliver innovative, interactive workshops to students from Year 6 (age 10) upwards.

Workshop content can link to multiple subject areas and encourages critical thinking about the complex issues raised by an exploration of the Holocaust.
