On January 8, the national campaign Learn about the Holocaust begins to highlight the importance of Holocaust education. Remembering the Holocaust must continue to play a central role in the Netherlands. Throughout January, we aim to reach as many people as possible to learn about antisemitism, the Holocaust, and Jewish life. Visit the website leeroverdeholocaust.nl for information and learning opportunities.

The campaign comes from the National Coordinator for Combating Antisemitism (NCAB), in collaboration with various organizations. This is part of the National Plan for Strengthening Holocaust Education and the Strategy Against Antisemitism.

The campaign and website aim to involve as many individuals and institutions as possible. Everyone should contribute to keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive. Learning and events at schools and other venues are encouraged.

Eddo Verdoner (NCAB): “Education about the Holocaust is crucial for preventing antisemitism. Knowledge is necessary to strengthen our society.”

Teachers are essential for teaching about the Holocaust. The NCAB collaborates with ministries to provide them with the best support aligned with their needs. The Ministry of Education has initiated a survey to understand these needs better.

Learning about the Holocaust is valuable for our society. The website leeroverdeholocaust.nl provides an overview of materials and locations for deepening knowledge of this significant historical topic.
