The Holocaust was the result of 2000 years of Conspiracy Thinking.  But despite this catastrophic failure of civilisation, it continues to divide society today, and to scapegoat the same small group of people for society's ills: Jewish people. In 2025 that conspiracy thinking killed yet again in the attacks at Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester and Bondi Beach.  

Each year, we give some 40,000 schoolchildren and many thousands of adults the decoding skills to recognise the same old conspiracy theories, dressed in new clothes.

Prevention is better than cure: the impact of our learning programmes on young hearts & minds is powerful. With the help of the testimonies of our cherished community of Holocaust survivors, they learn that anti-Jewish conspiracy theories are racism... and that anti-Jewish racism weakens us all, because it is an attack on Truth itself.  Post-visit increases in comprehension typically rise from under 10% to over 80%.

As Truth becomes erased by 'Tik Tok Truth', our educators counteract Conspiracy Thinking with Critical Thinking.  Not just when schools come to us, but when we go to them.  From the centre of England, we reach out widely across the social spectrum. 

Our educators are all professionals from senior school and university teaching backgrounds.  All are steeped in the ethos of the Smith family, our remarkable Christian founders who, in 1995, opened their home in the beautiful Sherwood Forest area to survivors of the Holocaust.  It became their home-from-home... and an inspiring place of learning at the heart of the country.  The wonderful 30-year bond between the Smith family and our Holocaust survivors infuses our learning programmes with warm conversation, hope and the highest ideals of good citizenship.

In a society that has largely forgotten how to talk to each other, this blend of teaching expertise and conversational warmth is more crucial than ever.  We urgently need to spread it.  It is much in demand.  Our only barrier is money.  As school coach costs rise, the economy stalls and the algorithm pumps out misinformation by the hour - we need your support to reach more schoolchildren, more teachers and more civic leaders:
