The Journey was incredible – I’ve never seen such an interactive museum where the children actually live the history, they can touch, see, smell and hear the story from room to room...a very thought provoking and enjoyable day, we learnt a great deal of historical facts balanced with exploring sensitive feelings.

The Exhibition

“The Journey was like stepping through a door of the past.” Y6 pupil, St Philip-Neri and St Bede RC Primary School, Mansfield.

“I thought this way of learning was better because I learned from people who really experienced being a Jew and living in Germany during the time Hitler ruled.” Hannah, 10, St Philip-Neri and St Bede RC Primary School, Mansfield.


There is an opportunity for students to handle objects within the museum exhibition. Many of the rooms will favour the kineasthetic and tactile learner as children are given time to explore spaces and handle the items.

Children also learn through other sources, e.g. by viewing real documents, artefacts, watching and listening to testimonies.
