Will you remember?

Susan Pollack OBE was 13 when she was deported to Auschwitz. Today, it is up to the next generation to ensure her story is not forgotten.

As antisemitism becomes ever more visible, remembrance must lead to action. Your support helps the Holocaust Educational Trust preserve survivor testimony and educate young people.
Because soon, there will be no one left to say, “I was there.”
