Our pedagogical activities, designed for the 3rd cycle of primary school, offer teachers the opportunity to approach the subject of the Holocaust thoughtfully and sensitively. They focus on stories of real youth, to whom students can easily relate, as well as solidarity and resilience. Our educational programs provide guidelines for reflections that are grounded in historical inquiry, the analysis of primary sources and survivor testimonies.

School groups are invited to discover our virtual programs and our in-person programs at the Museum.
