I have worked with many primary and secondary schools, addressing Year 4-8 classes on Judaism and its Customs/Traditions, with my family story being the centrepiece of my presentations. This presentation is also suitable for Years 7-8.

For the past 10 years, I have been visiting over 160 schools within the UK, delivering presentations on The Holocaust and Antisemitism from a personal viewpoint. I tell my own family story, being the son and grandson of refugees from Nazi Germany. My Great-Grandma survived the camps while my Great Aunt and Uncle perished in Auschwitz. I myself have been the victim of prejudice both at school and in my professional career as a teacher, with over 25 years’ experience.

I feel that my personal experience, background and observations would be invaluable in this respect. As well as personal visits, I have put together a series of Powerpoint presentations aimed at different year group combinations (Years 7-13), which can also be accessed via Zoom or Teams – Judaism, The Holocaust and Antisemitism:A Personal Journey.

My newest presentation, The History of Antisemitism from Medieval Times to the Present Day, is particularly valid for Year 9 students and above. With antisemitism increasing in many places across the world, especially in the UK, I take a personal journey through myths and stereotypes that are still being perpetrated today and ask what we can do to focus attention on the more extreme acts of prejudice. This would be a 50 minute presentation with time for questions at the end. So far, the presentation has made a big impression with many schools.

Provides balanced talks in schools, Youth Clubs, adult audiences, by a Muslim and a Jew together on the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Middle East in general. Both speakers are truth seeking, not pro one side or the other. The talks are illustrated with colourful photos and maps, can be tailored to any required length, and allow for plenty of audience participation and Q&A. Our website contains many resources, lesson plans, etc. A Registered Charity.

Both speakers have done much research and studying and are very knowledgeable. In particular, our Muslim speaker understands Arabic, and so is able to follow exactly what is written and said in the Arab world, rather than on translations which the rest of us have to rely on.

Alternative Curriculum is a not-for-profit learning platform run by a group of like-minded individuals, educators and teachers, working together to create free online resources. Their aim is to provide an alternative narrative to those used in schools and colleges across the country, and to supplement students’ existing learning.

AC was launched with the ambition to widen the educational conversation and deepen an understanding of many subjects that are often airbrushed out of our national curriculum.​ The group’s aim is to amplify diverse voices and give young people the chance to learn about the varied histories, cultures and communities that have contributed to society.

AC lessons focus on minority groups and those whose histories and cultures are not as thoroughly covered in the mainstream curriculum, with lessons on various topics within areas of history, science, media, literature, cultural studies and more.
