Our Aims

To acknowledge that the Holocaust was an unparalleled crime against humanity

To honour the survivors still with us and to enable as many young people as possible to hear them tell their stories.

To highlight aspects of human behaviour that affect all societies, such as the susceptibility to scapegoating and the desire for simple answers to complex problems.

To demonstrate the roles that fear, peer pressure, indifference, greed and resentment can play in social and political relations. 

To highlight the dangers of prejudice, discrimination and dehumanisation, such as antisemitism which gave rise to the Holocaust, or other forms of racism and intolerance.

To provide high quality Holocaust education to year 9 students from local Barnet schools and Teacher Training students from Middlesex University, all from very diverse ethnic, social and religious backgrounds and to do this within a Jewish space. 

To provide powerful and poignant educational experiences for the students as well as meaningful and fulfilling experiences for the survivors and the volunteers

To complement the Citizenship and British Values programmes of study for those aged between 11 - 16 years, demonstrating the importance of civil responsibility in society.
