The National Holocaust Centre and Museum has launched a new app based on its Kindertransport exhibition for primary children.
The Journey is an interactive story game in which participants take the role of Leo, a Jewish boy living in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1938.
Marc Cave, chief executive of the Nottinghamshire-based centre, said “the content and channels of Holocaust education have got to keep pace with popular culture.
“Holocaust denial and revisionism flourishes on Facebook. Anti-Jewish tropes used by the Nazis are alive and well on Twitter. Yet too much Holocaust and indeed all forms of anti-racism education relies on staid delivery techniques. We have been fighting hate with a blackboard pointer.”
