About the Organisations
Anne Frank Trust
The Anne Frank Trust was established as an educational charity in 1991 by Gillian Walnes and was inspired by the life and diary of Anne Frank. The Trust aims to educate and motivate young people to reject prejudice and build a society founded on mutual respect. The main activity of the Trust is a major travelling exhibition that tours the UK and has been seen by over 2.4 million people to date. Revenue comes primarily from hiring out the Exhibition to local authorities at a fee of £10,500.
Beth Shalom
Britain’s first dedicated Holocaust Memorial and Education Centre, established in 1995 by two brothers, Stephen and James Smith, on the site of a family-run Christian conference centre on the edge of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire. Beth Shalom provides a specifically designed space for visitors to learn, to remember and reflect as well as to explore the history and implications of the Holocaust.
Council of Christians and Jews
The CCJ was established in 1942 by Chief Rabbi Hertz and Archbishop Temple. The work of the CCJ is primarily educational, running conferences for schools, colleges and adult education. The Council also offers expertise and produces classroom materials for use in Religious Education, Citizenship initiatives and Holocaust education.
Holocaust Education Trust
The Holocaust Education Trust was set up in 1990 by Lord Janner following the introduction of the new War Crimes Bill. HET’s main focus is now on Holocaust education. HET organises visits to Auschwitz each year for educators, survivors and students. They also produce education packs to support Holocaust studies in schools and to record testimonials from survivors.
The Imperial War Museum.
Europe’s largest permanent exhibition on the Holocaust opened in June 2000 and a second permanent exhibition on genocide and ethnic violence, called Crimes against Humanity, opened in December 2002.
The Education Office has produced high quality teaching and learning resources. There is a student guide to the Exhibition called Torn Apart and a cross-curricular pack called Reflections to support the teaching of the Holocaust.
There is an excellent opportunity for teachers to develop their professional skills through applying for an IWM Fellowship in Holocaust Education. The Fellows are carefully chosen, through competitive selection, for their potential to become leaders in Holocaust Education and work closely with expert academics and educationalists from all over the world. The programme is free of charge, expenses paid and includes seminars at the IWM in London and at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as well as a study visit to Holocaust sites in Poland. Application information is available through Paul Salmons at the IWM.
The Jewish museum
The Jewish museum is located on two sites and aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of Jewish history. The museum at Camden Town has an outstanding display of Jewish religious objects, a history gallery tracing Jewish history in Britain since medieval times and a temporary exhibition for special exhibitions. The museum in Finchley is home to social history collections and focuses on Jewish immigration and settlement in London.
Weiner Library
The Weiner library is the oldest Holocaust archive in the world. The Weiner library was founded in Amsterdam in 1993, housing Alfred Weiner’s personal archive, and was moved to London in 1939. The collection contains German material from 1933-45, including eyewitness accounts, press cuttings, pamphlets and periodicals.
