About this Assembly
We are proud to offer these resources from to Holocaust Memorial Day Trust bilingually to the schools of Wales and we hope you will find them thought provoking and inspiring.
Each year, the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust chooses a different theme to enable people to learn something new about the past, using engaging activities.
Every resource is relevant to the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and to subsequent genocides, and includes the life stories of those who were murdered and those who survived at its heart – as well as the experiences of resisters, rescuers and witnesses.

hiding which is an international bestseller.

about
experiences of Jewish people under Nazi rule, and
inspire us to use our words to stand up against prejudice today.
