Holocaust Memorial Programme

Holocaust Memorial Programme is delivered to secondary school pupils with events in Enniskillen and Omagh in the period around International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January.  The programme gives participants an insight into the lived experience of the Holocaust through second generation survivors. The opportunity to explore a greater understanding of the impact of hate, division and inequality will resonate not only with the story of the Holocaust but in other genocides and ongoing conflicts.
