#HolocaustEducation #InclusiveHistory #CounteringAntisemitism #TeacherLed
Together, we aim to counter antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and to encourage young audiences to stand up against hatred, prejudice and persecution of any kind.
Presentations are supported by visual materials to ensure they are engaging as well as rigorous, helping pupils connect personally with this history.
Talks are delivered by accredited volunteer speakers who share their own family stories. These sessions are age-appropriate, impactful and historically accurate.
At Local History Hub we are proud to be partnering with the Northern Holocaust Education Group to provide young people with the opportunity to learn from the life stories and experiences of victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution.
Less than 2 months to go until Local History Day 2026 on Wednesday 22nd April.
Great to see plans forming in schools and heritage organisations across the UK.

Wishing all teachers a restful February half term.
We hope the week brings proper space to pause and recharge. We’ll be taking a few days to reset too and will be back next week with more updates from across the Local History Hub network.
Teacher-led, grassroots, and rooted in belonging.
We’re pleased to be exploring a new regional partnership with @classicsforall.bsky.social (North East).
By connecting local history with classics and ancient world studies, we can support schools to build richer, more coherent humanities curricula rooted in place and belonging.
The response to Local History Day 2026 has been fantastic.
From single classes to whole schools, academy trusts and heritage partners - you’re all welcome to take part, hub member or not.
