Spielberg project helps British pupils to learn about Holocaust
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Memories of more than 50,000 Holocaust survivors are being made available to British schoolchildren through a video project devised by Steven Spielberg.
The first schools-specific use of the Hollywood director's 10-year project to record the testimonies of Holocaust survivors is being launched at Pimlico School in south London today - 60 years after the first Nazi war criminals were hanged.
Through the Recollections DVD programme, students can learn about the Holocaust by engaging with survivor testimony through interactive technology.
The Shoah Foundation Institute set up by Spielberg, the director of Schindler's List, has collected stories of survivors including Jews, homosexuals, gypsies and political prisoners.
It has worked with the Holocaust Educational Trust to produce Recollections: Eyewitnesses Remember The Holocaust.
