The Centre for Holocaust Education is proud to have our latest  research contribute to the Prime Minister’s Holocaust Commission.

Published on Holocaust Memorial Day 2015, the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, you can now read and download the full report.

Stuart Foster, Executive Director of the Centre for Holocaust Education said:

‘We are delighted that our early research has helped inform the Prime Minister’s Holocaust Commission.  We know from our research that there are many dedicated and committed teachers who are convinced of the importance of Holocaust education but who face enormous challenges in doing so effectively, particularly with very limited curriculum time. But we also know that it is possible to explore this complex and emotionally challenging history in depth and in effective, age-appropriate ways; that there are schools we are engaged with that are doing exceptional work. So I believe with the right support and resources, substantial progress can be made in Holocaust awareness in this country.’
