Teaching resources

Teaching the Holocaust requires a delicate balance of historical accuracy and emotional safety. 

To support this, we have developed a comprehensive library of classroom-ready materials specifically tailored for the evolving New Zealand educational landscape. 

Our resources, ranging from the tactile Teaching Trunks and the Finding Hope survivor narratives to the structured Just One Week intensive unit, empower educators to lead these complex conversations with confidence. 

Whether you are looking for primary source analysis kits, curriculum-aligned lesson plans, or professional development opportunities to deepen your own pedagogical approach, our tools are designed to help you integrate these vital histories into your school’s unique context.

From January 2027, the Holocaust will become a part of the Social Sciences curriculum for all Year 10 students in Aotearoa New Zealand. Professional Development seminars and Unit Plans will be available soon.

Curriculum-aligned resources built for Aotearoa classrooms

To support the landmark introduction of Year 10 Holocaust education in 2027, we are rapidly expanding our suite of teaching materials. Designed specifically for New Zealand educators, our resource hub includes curriculum-aligned lesson plans, historical primary sources, and comprehensive support materials for our featured documentary, We Were Just Children. Every resource is crafted to be historically rigorous, engaging, and age-appropriate, helping students understand not only what happened, but how antisemitism, prejudice, and indifference affect societies today
