The Follow-up Seminar allows students to reflect on their experiences and the impact it had on them. The seminar is very important for participants, as often visitors to Auschwitz have a delayed reaction to the experience and many find it difficult to speak to those who have not been there. The seminar also focuses on the wider education of Holocaust, genocide, racism, bullying, both in schools and local communities.
We have to be aware of this and learn from it. If we don't, history could repeat itself.

I really wanted to come here because I feel the lessons should be passed on to other people.
Malika Ouallouche, Hertfordshire
I want other people to recognise the extremes of this place. I want to pass on the message.

Seeing things in the flesh is a lot more hard-hitting than reading a textbook.
Nick Walters, Essex
The course had a profound effect on me. I’m so glad I was given the opportunity.
