This week we have been reflecting on 30 years of the Holocaust Educational Trust.
In that time we have ensured that the Holocaust was included in the National Curriculum in England, we have provided free educational resources and teacher training across the UK, have taken 37,000 students and teachers on our ground-breaking Lessons from Auschwitz Project, and each year up to 120,000 students have heard from a Holocaust survivor through our Outreach Programme.
On Monday we celebrated our 30th Anniversary with a large gathering of supporters at our Appeal Dinner and heard from distinguished speakers; and yesterday we ran our 200th Lessons from Auschwitz visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Today we are asking you to join us in marking these incredible achievements.
Tell us what the Holocaust Educational Trust means to you, and why we must continue to remember.
Use #WhyIRemember & #HET30 to share your memories!

We will continue to teach about the past, so that people understand where antisemitism and hatred can lead. But we wanted to remind you that we can't do this without you. Watch our Appeal Film to see why your support is important now, more than ever.
Whilst we celebrate 30 years of success, we remain aware of the challenges we face. Antisemitism and hatred are on the rise, and we must all stand united in calling it out wherever we see it.

Speaking at our Appeal Dinner on Monday, Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, said: "Antisemitism has never gone away but now it's back, in a way I never considered feasible. What we are fighting for is not just something that happened in history but something profoundly important. We are never going to forget, we are never going to give up and we will win".

Yesterday, our Twitter feed came alive, and we were filled with pride, as Ambassadors reflected on what the Lessons from Auschwitz Project meant to them. The Project has reached over 37,000 students and teachers.
But the Lessons from Auschwitz Project is just one of our many projects. Today, as we wrap up a week in which we celebrate 30 years of success, we want to hear from the teachers and students who have been involved with our other educational projects, from supporters who've been by our side throughout, and from those of you who believe in the importance of our work.
Tell us what the Holocaust Educational Trust means to you, and why we must continue to remember the past!

We have been standing up against hatred and antisemitism for the last 30 years, and we will continue to do so for the next 30 years.
