Both primary and secondary school pupils can learn from Holocaust survivors, access museum artefacts and objects, and take part in workshops led by a team of former teachers. The workshops are age- appropriate and delivered sensitively and challengingly. For groups unable to visit in person, it’s also possible to book a session with the museum’s outreach education team, wherever you are in the country.
