TTA Member number: Q3390
We serve schools across the country (national remit), we have over 10 years' experience working in Holocaust education, having taken over 100 school, university, youth and faith groups on study tours to southern Poland and Auschwitz Birkenau. Additionally, having worked closely with Leeds City Council developing a comprehensive knowledge of the Education Visits Health and Safety processes, we can support your school in completing the pre-visit documentation.
Our tours can be tailored specific to your curriculum requirements; learning outcomes can be mapped to fit AQA, EDEXCEL and OCR GCSE and A level syllabuses in Philosophy and Ethics, Religious Studies and History. Our educators and guides are recognised internationally as some of the best in their respective fields.
We have a wide network of approved suppliers in Poland for all of your travel, accommodation and culinary needs! We offer a range of options to suit your budgetary requirements - from 4-Star hotels to student hostels.
We work closely with the Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association (http://holocaustlearning.org/) , a Leeds-based charity that preserves the memory, testimony and records of the Holocaust survivors based in Yorkshire, England for research, teaching and learning. Collaboratively we have
delivered educational work in a range of settings.
Furthermore, as a local company with extensive experience of the Educational Visits Health and Safety guidelines, we can support your school in completing the necessary paperwork and risk assessments, minimising the stress for your educational visits coordinator.
In addition, your students will have the evenings to experience the historic Polish capital, Krakow, which rivals the beauty of Prague and Vienna. Students will have time to experience the medieval market square, the castle, the Grand Cloth Hall and St. Mary's Cathedral.

Our Philosophy
Before millions of people became known solely as “victims”, they had lives, families and thriving communities. Many conventional history tours neglect to focus on this side of the story.
Holocaust Study Tours does not begin with the Nazis. Their legacy is Auschwitz. A place where one may argue, we will see the Jewish community how the Nazis intended – dehumanised, without name, without dignity.
Holocaust Study Tours begins with pre-war Jewish life. Not as a generic community but as individuals. The dreams, the aspirations , the daily struggles of life of the people who once made Krakow and the surrounding areas their home. Using song, poetry and literature we attempt to connect to the voices of those who are no longer here.
