This educational and commemorative project offers post-16 students the opportunity to learn about the Holocaust and consider its relevance for today. Through the bespoke interactive online platform, participants join others from across the country as they embark on an educational journey in which they:
- Learn about the history of the Holocaust and the role of camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau
- Consider the individuals whose lives were affected by the Holocaust
- Reflect on the relevance of the Holocaust today and share their learning with others
During the Project, participants:
- Explore this challenging history by taking part in interactive, online Live Sessions, led by experts in the history of the Holocaust
- Hear directly from Holocaust survivors, who share their personal experiences, including an online, live survivor testimony and Q&A
- Experience the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum using virtual reality technology
Students end the course by completing their Next Steps, an opportunity for them to share what they have learnt and experienced with their school and wider community.
