Holocaust Memorial Day - 27th January 2012
Speak Up, Speak Out
Holocaust Memorial Day offers teachers the opportunity to raise awareness amongst students of all the communities who suffered as a result of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution. Events leading up to and on the day itself create a focal point for young people to reflect on the history of the Holocaust, its repercussions and to consider more recent atrocities.
In keeping with the theme for 2012, Speak Up, Speak Out, educational activities might focus on examples of individual and collective resistance against discrimination and persecution during the Holocaust. Film interpretations of the Holocaust narrative are a powerful, if controversial, teaching tool within this context.
