The Holocaust Educational Trust team is made up of hard working, energetic people who are passionate about our mission to educate every person from every background in the UK about the Holocaust and its contemporary relevance. We believe that the Holocaust must have a permanent place in our nation’s collective memory. We work across the UK, providing a wide range of educational programmes.

The Lessons from Auschwitz (LFA) Project is a course for students in post-16 education delivered throughout the UK. The project has taken over 42,000 students and teachers to the former Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. The project aims to increase knowledge and comprehension of the Holocaust and to signal what can happen if prejudice and racism become acceptable. Students then pass on the lessons they have learned to their community. The project has been described as ‘life changing’ and can leave an unforgettable emotional and educational mark on participants.
