Holocaust Education

auschwitz sign nmThe ‘Lessons from Auschwitz’ Scottish pupil group visits organised by the Holocaust Education Trust in September and October continue to attract positive media coverage. An example is the article in the Edinburgh Evening News entitled ‘Teenagers face the horror of Holocaust’, which describes the experiences of school pupils in the East of Scotland groups.

In early October around 60 Scottish teachers took part in a Holocaust Education workshop day organised by Learning and Teaching Scotland, which focused on the variety of learning and teaching approaches that teachers might adopt to teach about issues such as the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights. Delegates benefitted from the participation of Education staff from the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust and the Anne Frank Scotland charity. The products of the day are being shared in a national group on Glow, the Scottish schools broadband intranet service. LTS will continue to support these active Holocaust educators, in areas such as collaborative production of learning resources.
