The importance of Holocaust Education: the Late Show with Tom Hopkins Burke

As Holocaust Memorial Day 2024 passes, Tom is joined by senior leader James Griffiths and head of humanities Domonic Townsend to discuss the role of Holocaust education in History teaching today. They consider questions of curriculum, pedagogy and common student misconceptions, and why films like One Life do not tell the full story of Britain’s actions and inactions in this period. Plus, Katherine Prange shares her insights into Holocaust education in the USA amidst rising antisemitism across the pond, as one in five young Americans believe the Holocaust to be a myth.
