The Holocaust Educational Trust was saddened to hear of the passing of the brilliant historian and our great friend, Professor David Cesarani OBE.
Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said:
'David Cesarani was a pioneer in Holocaust scholarship and education. We worked in close partnership with him for many years, including on the introduction of the first Holocaust educational resource to be used in British schools. His vast expertise, knowledge and wisdom - which garnered the respect of Holocaust experts around the world - will be sorely missed. We mourn the loss of a guiding light and a great friend. Our heartfelt thoughts are with his family.'
