This new course is for all teachers who will be teaching about the Holocaust in a secondary school context. Drawing upon the Centre's empirical research & the latest scholarship the course provides a clear rationale for the importance of teaching about Jewish life across Europe.

Also this week: "On Holocaust Memorial Day we need more history, not just more memory" bit.ly/4t6wPx6 Dr Andy Pearce, Director of @uclholocaust.bsky.social, on the Society's blog. Andy's article introduces new work on Holocaust knowledge among UK secondary school pupils #Skystorians
Front page of Royal Historical Society blog post with image of the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, photograph by Rudolph Simon, 2013, Wilkimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0. 

Text reads: "On Holocaust Memorial Day we need more history, not just more memory' and abstract: In this post, Andy Pearce – Director of the Centre for Holocaust Education at UCL – considers the current levels of knowledge of the Holocaust among UK secondary school students. UCL studies, in 2016 and 2026, reveal a troubling and enduring divergence between popular understandings of the persecution and murder of Jews in Europe, in the 1930s and 1940s, and the findings of scholarly historical research. 27 January 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Holocaust Memorial Day in Britain. As Andy argues, prevalent and popular misperceptions risk being sustained if the Holocaust becomes a subject for remembrance and memory, rather than of history and historical scholarship. It is only though ‘more history’, shared widely and publicly, that we may seek to redress error, distortion and denial."
