Explore the moral, spiritual and personal dimensions of the Holocaust, through the Jewish Museum's tailor-made educational programmes.

Our sensitive and thought-provoking Holocaust education sessions focus on a range of evidence-based historical material and provide the rare opportunity to meet Holocaust survivors and hear their testimonies.

Our Holocaust education programmes also explore links with racism today, citizenship and the experiences of refugees fleeing conflict and oppression. We place a strong emphasis on enhancing student's thinking skills, literacy, empathy, enquiry, interpretation, analysis and moral development.

Object handling is a key feature of the museum’s programmes. Students explore artefacts, documents and photographs, both as sources of evidence and as a starting point for enquiries to unravel personal stories.

The museum has a team of specialist speakers including historians, educationalists, researchers, Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazism, who are available to speak to groups.

This display records the rescue of 10,000 unaccompanied children on the Kindertransport before the outbreak of World War II. The children faced almost certain death in Nazi occupied Europe and arrived in Britain with a very uncertain future.

Former Kindertransport refugees are available to speak to groups about their experiences. An associated education resource, also entitled The Last Goodbye, is available from the museum with a range of classroom activities.

A range of touring exhibitions are also available for hire.

All education programmes must be booked in advance. For more information on educational activities at the Jewish Museum please contact our education officers on +44 (0)20 7284 7384 or education@jewishmuseum.org.uk.
