Funding worth €100,000 is being provided for increased Holocaust education in secondary schools across the country, the Government has announced. Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Helen McEntee said Ireland will provide the funding to the Auschwitz Birkenau Foundation to support its Holocaust education programme. This programme will be made available to secondary schools as part of the Government’s commitment to increasing Holocaust education and awareness. “Holocaust education remains a crucial tool in helping our students and all in society grasp the murderous scale of the Holocaust and the ways we can prevent it occurring again,” she said. It is so important for this to be made available to all secondary schools in Ireland,” she said.
