Hearing a Holocaust Survivor Speak

Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental speaks to hundreds of senior students throughout Ireland, recounting his childhood experiences of the Holocaust. This is one of the most significant programs we offer through Holocaust Education Ireland and we therefore encourage teachers to involve as many senior classes as possible for these talks.

Holocaust Education Ireland facilitates Zoom talks delivered by Tomi Reichental, a Holocaust survivor who has been living in Ireland since 1959. Tomi is a nationally renowned speaker, recounting his experience of the Holocaust and its significance to thousands of school students and teachers every year.

Participating schools receive free Holocaust Memorial Day commemorative booklets which serve as an excellent teaching resource to use in the classroom.
