The Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to invite you to our one-day event organised specifically for GCSE and A-Level students attending school or college in the London Borough of Camden on Thursday 28 April 2022, 10:00am – 4:00pm.
Run by the Library’s experienced education team, we have organised an exciting day of talks and workshops for students in Camden to deepen their understanding of the Nazi era and the Holocaust through engagement with the Library’s unique and historic archive; as well as hearing from guest speakers including Holocaust academic Dr Rebecca Jinks of Royal Holloway and Holocaust survivor Ruth Schwiening. Read the full programme for here.
The day is an exclusive opportunity for schools in Camden and places for the day will be given on a first come first serve basis. You can either book in for the whole day or specific events, capacity for each session is shown in the programme attached. All aspects of the programme are free.
If you would like to secure spaces for your students for either the day or specific sessions, please email [email protected] and provide us with the following: your name and position in school, your school’s name, whether you would like to attend the whole day or set sessions, the school year of the students attending and the number of students you hope to attend.
We need your support more than ever. Help us preserve the truth.
We are an independent charity dependent on your support. We need to raise over a quarter of a million pounds each year for our work to continue and this is only possible with your help.
With your support we can continue to;
- Be a world leading Holocaust archive
- Offer a vital learning resource to oppose anti-Semitism and other forms of prejudice.
- Reach out to our worldwide audience of over two million people
- Preserve our archive for future generations so they can learn the lessons of the past
- Provide a free program of public events and exhibitions
