Holocaust Memorial Day is a crucial time of remembrance and commemoration. Teaching young people about the Holocaust and the Nazi persecution needs to be a vital part of teaching about and facing history.
As the number of survivors from the Holocaust grows smaller over time, it is a collective responsibility to teach about the Holocaust. Teachers want to know and learn how to do this appropriately, how to tackle antisemitism and teach about human rights, in ways that make a positive difference.
The National Education Union organises an educational study tour to Warsaw, Krakow, and Auschwitz-Birkenau, and we are committed to supporting teachers using the curriculum and engaging with students to teach about human rights and address racism in all its forms.
Teachers can use the Mosaic classroom resources, developed by the NEU and Holocaust Educational Trust (UK)
