New research from @uclholocaust.bsky.social shows misconceptions about the Holocaust still persist among teens – though understanding has improved since 2016.

This provides compelling evidence to call for wider change and a national conversation on Holocaust education.

It was an honour in my dual capacity to hear again from Eva Clarke BEM @uclholocaust.bsky.social as we gathered in person/online to mark #HMD.
Our RWBA relationship with Eva is a longstanding one (as pictured), both a first & sec gen survivor - she is the embodiment of bridging generations.

As young people encounter misinformation on and offline, how should we teach about the Holocaust?

1. Focusing on digital literacy
2. Explicitly teaching about antisemitism

Today, on HMD RWBA joins in bridging generations: testimony is something we listen to & learn from together, guiding the choices our young people make & the communities they help build.
Memory becomes a bridge they choose to walk across, carrying its lessons into the world they are shaping
