Educational Materials

We offer a variety of educational materials that can be adapted to the needs of your classroom based on the age of your students, the subject you teach or the time that you have available. Our Education Programs and short activities explore important themes related to the Holocaust and build students’ knowledge of the historical context of the survivors’ stories. Use these educational materials in conjunction with the stories of Canadian survivors that are available in our memoirs or on our digital resource, Re:Collection. There are no graphic images on Re:Collection and the content is appropriate for all students mature enough to study the Holocaust.
