Imperial War Museum London

The Holocaust Exhibition is a rich learning resource for students in Years 9–13. We currently receive visits from groups studying the Holocaust in a wide range of subject areas including History, Citizenship, Religious Studies, English, Philosophy, Geography and Science. Due to the nature of the subject and the material on display, we do not accept bookings for groups younger than Year 9.

You should allow two-and-a-half hours for your visit to The Holocaust Exhibition. This will include an orientation session to help prepare and focus your students, a visit to the galleries – using one of a range of audio tours focused on specific learning needs – and a feedback session to help your students reflect on what they have learned.
