Holocaust Memorial Day seeks to influence the future by learning from and remembering the past. An educational resource has been developed for use in schools as part of the new curriculum for learning and development. The resource complements the objectives for Holocaust Memorial Day. It provides an opportunity for teachers from various subjects to engage their pupils with an historic event of the twentieth century that has contemporary relevance for all our lives today.
