Statement from the Chief Executive of Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, Olivia Marks-Woldman OBE.

In our blog to mark VE Day (Victory in Europe Day), two members of the HMDT outreach team, Claudia Hyde and Genevieve Carnell, reflect on what VE Day meant to those who had survived the Holocaust and Nazi persecution.

The Education Consultative Group meets once or twice a year to advise Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) on its resources for schools and educators. It is chaired by HMDT’s Education Officer.

A concentration camp survivor and a Kindertransportee are in the 2020 Queen’s birthday honours in recognition of their work in Holocaust and genocide education.

As a child, Ernest Simon escaped the Nazis by travelling to the UK on the Kindertransport. In this video he describes his experiences as a young boy during the Holocaust.
