Scotland - Autumn 2026

We are delighted to be opening applications for Lessons from Auschwitz Project. This project is available to students in S5 and S6 from all schools and colleges in Scotland with a post-16 provision.

The Holocaust Educational Trust is delighted to invite your students to take part in the Lessons from Auschwitz Project, our flagship project which includes a one-day visit to the site of the former Nazi concentration camp and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This bespoke 4-part course is open to two post-16 students in every school  and college in Scotland with a post-16 provision. Places on the project, costing just £59, are extremely limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. One teacher is also able to apply for a space. Please note that teacher spaces will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis and cannot be confirmed until closer to the application deadline. Not all requests for teacher places will be fulfilled. Priority will given to those attending with schools which have not participated on Lessons from Auschwitz in the past. We welcome one application per school.
