Background
Between 2013 - 2019*, the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand, in conjunction with Yad Vashem, has sent between 25-30 New Zealand educators every two years to attend an intensive study seminar at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, Israel. 
These educators get to experience Jerusalem and other areas of Israel, meet Holocaust survivors, and bring home into their classrooms the many lessons and teaching practicum ideas learned from world leading experts in the field of Holocaust education.

Many seminar graduates reflect on this as a "life changing experience".

Beyond the seminar itself Yad Vashem graduates become part of our very cherished alumni, and continue as supported advocates in Holocaust education, turning present youth and future generations into global citizens. 

The seminar underwent a name change in 2021 in honour of HCNZ's Founding Director and the person who initiated the NZ educators Yad Vashem seminar, Mrs Inge Woolf z"l.

*COVID-19 impacted us  being able to undertake a 2021 seminar.
