Lessons From Auschwitz

Our Aims

The aim of the Holocaust Educational Trust is to educate young people from every ethnic background about the Holocaust and the important lessons to be learned for today. Through initiatives like the Lessons from Auschwitz Project, we seek to motivate future generations to speak out, inspire individuals to consider their responsibilities within society, and challenge antisemitism, racism and prejudice.

In an age that has seen a marked increase in antisemitism, racism and other prejudices, the work of the Holocaust Educational Trust is even more relevant and important. Our vision is clear:

  • to teach the history of the Holocaust;
  • to preserve the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust;
  • and to teach the lessons of the Holocaust, in order to learn lessons for the future.


I want other people to recognise the extremes of this place. I want to pass on the message.
