Welsh government secures funding future of Holocaust education

The Welsh government has pledged more than £320,000 to boost Holocaust education in the country's schools.

Leighton Andrews, minister for Education and Skills, announced the funding for the Holocaust Educational Trust's Lessons from Auschwitz project at an event in Cardiff today.

The project, which more than 16,000 British students and teachers have taken part in since its inception in 1998, takes sixth form students to Poland to educate them first-hand about the horrors of the Nazi era.
