Aims of LFA

Our proven 4 stage approach

Learning From Auschwitz

The Learning from Auschwitz charity aims to increase knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust for young people and to clearly highlight what can happen if prejudice and racism become acceptable.

Our main aim is to teach young people from all religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds what the consequences are of allowing racism, hate and prejudice to take root in our society.

We do this by organising a 4-stage project, part of which involves taking 17 year old students to see the concentration camps in Auschwitz in Poland where 6 million Jews and 5 million others were killed not for who they were but for what they were.

There are many instances in history where people have stood by and watched the mass slaughter of innocents such as in Rwanda, Bosnia and Serbia and in the Sudan, but none more documented than the Holocaust during WWII.

We believe that visiting the concentration camps and being able to talk face to face with survivors and people who helped Jews during the Holocaust, will bring the message home to our young people.

Every individual in this planet is capable of making a change in this world, you just have to stand up and put a stop to what is wrong!
