Partnerships & Consultancy

The Holocaust and Anti-Racism Education Department, as one of the most influential organisations in its fields, is developing partnerships with other specialist bodies and with media and the arts.

Holocaust Survivors Centre (HSC)

We have close and ongoing links with Shalvata, the therapeutic unit of the Holocaust Survivors Centre. Together with them we have combined our experience and resources to help Bosnian and Rwandan survivors. 600 survivors of genocide in Rwanda, aged between the ages of 16 and 30 are now living in the UK. Most of them are still traumatised by their horrific experiences. To help them come to terms with their experience, and to mark the 10th anniversary of their genocide, a number of Rwandans have been invited to the Sixth Form Seminar  to experience Holocaust survivors working with children.

Film, TV, and Theatre

The Holocaust and Anti-Racism Education Department is increasingly invited to provide specialist advice to writers and producers. Notable examples include the main BBC1 documentary Grandchild of the Holocaust and the Department's contribution to the BBC's Auschwitz: The Nazis and 'The Final Solution', both broadcast in early 2005 to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp. The Department has also co-operated with BBC Education, which is producing a study guide to accompany the programmes. Advice and consultation was given to Richard Wilson and Anthony Sher for the National Theatre's production of Primo, in the autumn of 2004. Innumerable documentaries and features have been enriched by advice and assistance of survivors and the Department, together with press and private interviews, and help or book research.
