Why Teach About The Holocaust

UNESCO’s mission is to contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. UNESCO believes that it is essential to learn about the Holocaust to better understand the causes of Europe’s descent into genocide; the subsequent development of international law and institutions designed to prevent and punish genocide; and that the careful comparison with other examples of mass violence may contribute to the prevention of future genocides and mass atrocities.

This excellent teaching resource will assist those looking for a comprehensive brochure about the Holocaust and genocide.

The Holocaust Educational Trust works with schools, colleges and communities across the UK to educate about the Holocaust and its contemporary relevance.

The Trust plays a central role in combating antisemitism, racism and prejudice in our society today by delivering innovative educational and teacher training programmes and producing groundbreaking resources such as the BAFTA award-winningRecollections DVD.

By partnering with schools, universities, Local Education Authorities and other institutions our work ensures the Holocaust has a permanent place in our nation’s collective memory.
