Resources

Order candles, stickers, booklets and pin badges to use in your Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) activity.

These learning resources for 9-11, 11-14 and 14-16-year-old learners explore discrimination, persecution and stereotypes in daily life. The contents of the lessons are designed to encourage discussion and reflection on the discrimination that continues to occur.

This resource, developed in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Campaign for School Gardening, offers ideas for primary and secondary school students to use plants to commemorate the Holocaust, Nazi persecution of other groups and more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

This is a flexible lesson plan aimed at 9–11-year-old learners. Your students will learn about Renie Inow, who came to Britain on the Kindertransport at the age of 10. You will read letters her parents sent her, and learn what the Kindertransport programme was, and why it was needed.

Inspire your community, group or organisation to create poetry together to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

This lesson plan for primary students aged 7 and up takes students through memories and remembrance on Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). It uses accessible games and reflective activities without explicit detail about the Holocaust and genocide so it is appropriate for a range of younger students.

Helene Melanie Lebel was one of approximately 250,000 people murdered by the Nazis because they were physically or mentally disabled.

These guidelines for teachers provide support in tackling the subjects of the Holocaust and genocide with students of different ages and abilities, and how to mark HMD in education settings in ways that are sensitive and impactful for students.

This assembly for Key Stage 2 (or equivalent) introduces students to Holocaust Memorial Day, what we are commemorating, and how we can mark it. It includes poetry and film to engage students with the day. It can be delivered on or around 27 January.

This activity is suitable for use by primary, secondary or SEN schools, young people and HMD activity organisers. Read about the experiences of people affected by the Holocaust, Nazi persecution of other groups or genocide, and do a craft activity to make a commemorative display, using the image of a memorial flame.
