Holocaust and Antisemitism Foundation, Aotearoa New Zealand’s work is used by tertiary educators in NZ and has been sought out and used by educators in USA and Europe.

Our exhibitions have been staged in over two dozen venues from Invercargill to Whangarei, including schools, galleries, universities, and museums that ran outreach programmes to schools. In addition we speak to schools and community groups on the Holocaust upon invitation.

We provide a number of educational resources for use in school curricula in addition to the three minute survivor stories featured in our exhibitions and online.
