Visit Auschwitz, charity urges university staff amid rise in antisemitism on campuses

A charity that takes youngsters on educational trips to Auschwitz has opened up the scheme to university staff following a reported rise in anti-Semitic incidents on campuses.

The Holocaust Educational Trust (Het) is encouraging vice chancellors, senior leaders and student sabbatical officers to visit the camp as part of its Lessons from Auschwitz programme.

Research by the National Union of Students showed more than a quarter of Jewish students experienced personal abuse through social media last year. Two thirds believed they were targeted because of their faith.
