Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a new government initiative to make Holocaust education mandatory in all schools across England, emphasizing its critical role in shaping students' identities. At the Holocaust Educational Trust dinner, he pledged a minimum of £2.2 million to support the Lessons from Auschwitz project, which enables students to visit the concentration camp and hear survivor testimonies. Starmer highlighted the urgent need to combat rising antisemitism and affirmed that Holocaust studies would be included in the national curriculum, even for non-compliant schools. He expressed his personal commitment to visiting Auschwitz, underscoring the importance of firsthand experiences in understanding the atrocity. Reflecting on recent events, he drew parallels between the Holocaust and contemporary antisemitic violence, reinforcing the necessity of remembrance and education. The initiative aims to enhance Holocaust education amid concerns about declining participation in memorial observances.
