Lessons from Auschwitz Online 

Lessons from Auschwitz Online is an interactive digital project. Students will take part in a combination of live and self-guided learning; they will learn about the 6 million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators; develop their knowledge of the Holocaust, explore the history of the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, and consider the Holocaust’s relevance today. 

Funding for the project is provided by the Department for Education, the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government. The Trust thanks them for their continued support of our vital programmes. 

With thanks to the National Holocaust Centre and Museum, we are delighted to include 'Forever Kitty Hart Moxon' in the Lessons from Auschwitz Online Project.  The Holocaust Educational Trust and The National Holocaust Centre and Museum have worked closely in preparing Kitty Hart Moxon's testimony for use in the project; it is a privilege to share her experiences and insight.
