We are very grateful to the Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Education & Skills @JennyGilruth for joining us on our Lessons from Auschwitz Project. The profound impact of visiting Auschwitz - the site where over a million Jewish men, women and children were murdered, can never be underestimated.

Sadly, antisemitism in the UK is at an all time high. If you want to take a stand against prejudice, if you believe we must fight this pernicious hate, if you want to stand up and be counted - join us. This Sunday. 26th November.
