"Visits to memorial sites can provide a broader understanding of what human rights are. They help you to understand how important it is to create a world with room for everyone." Student, Denmark FRA research report “Discover the past for the Future”.

Active participation promotes learning Students want to make active progress in their search for knowledge. Asking students to examine a particular area or theme of the site themselves is one way of getting them to work using their own level of knowledge and involvement, encouraging them to be active and have some control over the learning. Diversity within classroom gets addressed through participatory discussion.

What do teachers and students say? Visiting historical sites is a powerful and meaningful experience. Holocaust education should incorporate historical facts and issues relating to ethics and human values. Importance of bringing up the significance of human rights. Visits to historical sites help gain insight into the Holocaust. Teaching needs to be based on a multi-perspective view of history. It is important to create possibilities for discussion, exchange of view and reflection.

“Human rights education at Holocaust memorial sites across the European Union: An overview of practices” provides: Visits to original sites and historical museums offer unique learning opportunities. Preparation and follow-up are essential. Before the visit it is important for students to have understood the general historical context and the context of the particular site. During the visit, students need to feel secure and informed by understanding the main idea behind their particular visit. After the visit follow-up work and reflection will enable students to develop and review the knowledge and attitudes they had when they started this work.

Handbook for teachers “Excursion for the past, teaching for the future” provides : Reflection on linking the Holocaust with human rights issues. A human rights timeline. Historical information. Discussion of patterns of ideological continuity. Discussion of how to structure visits, how to deal with the authenticity and historicity of sites, and the emotional aspects. Discussion of importance of dealing with the individuals behind the historical statistics and examples on how this can be done. Information on how to get young people involved taking into account the ethnic diversity of classrooms.
