Nick Gibb

Every young person should be taught about the Holocaust and the lessons it teaches us today. In recognition of its significance, the Holocaust is compulsory within the national curriculum.

For the past ten years the Department for Education has funded the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project which has taken more than 28,000 students to visit the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp.

The Department will continue to promote, support and fund the teaching of the Holocaust.
