Here you will find resources to help your school mark Holocaust Memorial Day. We have a range of assemblies, lesson plans and activities to help your students learn about the Holocaust, Nazi persecution of other groups, and genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur, as well as contemporary issues.

Our free, downloadable resources contain everything you need to get involved with Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), even if you are new to teaching this subject. Our HMD education guidelines for teachers provide a starting point for planning your HMD activities.
Marking HMD in schools has a huge impact on young people, as demonstrated in our local activity case studies, and impact films.
Our resources aim to help students to:
- Learn more
- Feel empathy
- Be inspired to take action
You can find advice and resources suitable for your students below, or click here to explore all of our education resources. Physical resources are also available to order for, such as About HMD booklets, HMD stickers and pin badges.
For HMD 2025 we are running a competition for secondary school students to learn about the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia by designing a memorial. Find out more and download our competition pack below.
