There is an ever-growing need to show that we are all bound together by a common humanity.
Learning from the Righteous is a Holocaust education charity that promotes dialogue and understanding to tackle racial hatred by highlighting the contemporary relevance of The Holocaust. We organise study tours to Holocaust-related sites for UK teachers, students and faith leaders, that focus on acts of rescue and resistance within their historical context.

In August 1945 Lydia Tischler, aged 16, arrived in Britain from Prague. After studying nursing and teaching, she trained in psychotherapy under Anna Freud. Lydia became a pioneer in the field, forging a career that has touched the lives of thousands and, at 93 she is still deeply involved in the profession as a practitioner and a teacher.
Broadcaster and journalist Jonathan Freedland will be talking to Lydia about her remarkable life, and the extent to which the trauma and loss of her early childhood has determined its trajectory.
Their conversation will be followed by a recital of music that was performed and composed in Terezin, the Czech garrison town transformed by the Germans into a propaganda “show camp”, where numerous acts of inspiring courage and resistance provided a cultural lifeline to prisoners such as Lydia.
