Nazi War Crimes: Education
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether it remains her Department's policy to support the Holocaust Educational Trust's Lessons from Auschwitz Project.
- Answer
-
The Department continues to believe that young people should be taught about the Holocaust and the lessons it teaches us today. We are committed to promoting, supporting and funding Holocaust Education.
Since the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz project begun in 1999, it has taken more than 31,000 students and teachers to visit the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The Government announced in April last year that we had renewed our grant for the project for a further three years.
