What are teachers saying

Maria Thompson
8th Grade Social Studies Teacher – Des Moines, Iowa

Teaching the Holocaust is never easy, but The Last Ones made it deeply impactful for my students. The survivor testimonies are short yet powerful, and the lesson plans gave me the confidence to approach sensitive topics with care. Several students told me it was the most meaningful unit they’ve ever studied.

High School History Teacher – Atlanta, Georgia

What I love most is that the platform doesn’t just teach facts—it fosters empathy. The Last Ones helped my students connect emotionally to the stories, and the discussion guides sparked thoughtful dialogue. This is how Holocaust education should be done.

We integrated The Last Ones across multiple grade levels, and it transformed how we teach about the Holocaust. The videos are accessible, age-appropriate, and deeply human. It gave our staff the tools to teach with both accuracy and compassion.

The customizable resources are a game changer. I was able to tailor my lessons to fit both my curriculum goals and the maturity level of my students. Watching them engage with survivor stories in such a respectful and curious way reminded me why this work matters.
