I disagree that more publicity, more airtime and more education time needs to be given over to the Holocaust itself. It is actually very well documented and most of the people who wanted to talk about their awful experiences have already done so. Too many dramatisations and documentaries could lead to fatigue.
The Holocaust per se is one of the most difficult and sensitive areas of KS2 History to teach at school, but as time moves on, to the next generations it becomes just that, History. It actually becomes more important to highlight how necessary it is to be tolerant of other people's beliefs and differences in the 21st century.
What is vital, is to get across how the genocide has percolated into our own contemporary consciousness, and how we should learn from the atrocities of the past. Keeping it high in our awareness means relating it to present day politics and attitudes, and moving forward.
Thank you for the reminder about the programme with the artists' portraits henetha.
