The importance of learning lessons from the Holocaust and from the mass slaughter in Rwanda was recognised in the theme underpinning Britain’s Holocaust Memorial Day in 2004. This article is principally concerned with the lessons learnt from the Holocaust by a culturally diverse group of students  aged  14  to  16.  They  all  attended  schools  in  an  outer  London  borough  and  were  interviewed after taking part in a local event held to mark the 2004  commemoration. The article concludes with a discussion of the main findings of the investigation. (By the author)
