Recognition for the Work of the Holocaust Educational Trust
The motion
That the Parliament recognises and applauds the work of the Holocaust Educational Trust in teaching young people about the Holocaust; notes that the trust is committed to ensuring that our young people understand the horror of the Holocaust and how vital it is to fight hatred whenever and wherever it arises; further notes this year’s theme, “The Dignity of Difference”, encouraging commemorations to reflect on the different groups that were persecuted and murdered during the Holocaust, as well as in more recent incidents of prejudice, discrimination and genocide, and calls on the Scottish Executive to support all schools to allow them to take advantage of the trust’s outreach programme which sends educators and Holocaust survivors into schools to deliver innovative, interactive workshops that teach about the Holocaust and its lessons for future generations.
