Remembering & Rethinking 2025: Teaching and Learning About the Holocaust

For decades, Holocaust educators have anticipated a time when it would become a necessity – due to our expanding historical distance from the Nazi era – to rethink how the Shoah is taught. That time has arrived. Meanwhile, as we are confronted with a global surge in antisemitism, big questions are being asked of the Holocaust educational sector regarding how our work should address this moment.

Fortunately, across our sector there are numerous initiatives which are already responding to these challenges. This is why the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) is pleased to host our next international forum, Remembering & Rethinking 2025: Teaching & Learning About the Holocaust, an event which brings together experts and stakeholders to share the learning they have gleaned from their years of experience.

The AJR is the organisation in the UK which brings together institutions from across the Holocaust remembrance and education sector. As the nation’s leading dedicated funder of Holocaust educational programmes, we have relationships with dozens of key organisations in the field. These partnerships are centred on a fundamental principle: that we must all be willing to share our learning. Which educational approaches work, and which do not? What are the emerging trends and challenges that impact upon our shared mission? Where are there mutually beneficial opportunities to uplift the work of other organisations, to share resources and share credit?

Remembering & Rethinking 2025 is the fourth in our series of international forums which began in 2019. Previous topics have been: The Kindertransport; Next Generations; and Testimony. Once again, this event will have a global dimension, bringing experts from around the world into contact and conversation with those in the UK, ensuring a truly international exchange of ideas.
