ABOUT SCHOOL TOURS
Make learning about the Holocaust
a deeply thought-provoking experience
Museum visits and lectures don’t enable students to absorb the enormity of what happened, or to understand the true messages of the Holocaust. This is why our virtual tours of different concentration camps have been designed to make learning about the Holocaust as impactful and powerful as possible.

All tours are live-hosted by a knowledgeable, trained educational guide and can be adjusted to your students learning needs.
Our two main school tours are:
- Virtual Live Tour of Auschwitz
- “Through the eyes of Elie Wiesel, z’l” Virtual live Tour of Auschwitz
There is also an opportunity to take the tour with a Holocaust survivor sharing personal experience. Live-hosted with a trained, knowledgeable educational guide.

What students are saying about their virtual tours

I will carry the lessons forever
This emotional experience, although very hard, is very important for all of us to try to learn from. If we do not learn from our past mistakes, it is very hard to grow and even better our world.
I will truly never forget what I experienced during the tour, and I will carry the lessons I learned into my everyday life forever.

I could finally get a full understanding of the atrocities
In the book, “Prisoner B-3087” I read descriptions of the horrors of the concentration camps and the brutality they entailed. However, I had no real vision of anything. The tour of Auschwitz changed that. It opened my eyes to the true torture that went on.
Seeing the barracks and the gas chambers put the paint on the canvas, and I finally could get a full understanding of the atrocities.

It inspired me to be an upstander
The tour highlights the good and the bad; survivors shared their stories to educate others. The way the tour guide described and narrated throughout the tour gave life to the experience and taught me to never to be like the Nazis.
It inspired me to be an upstander from now on and teach others how to act appropriately so these horrible events do not repeat themselves.

I am gonna live for them
This tour made me think about how grateful I am of my life and to be where I am. All that time I spent complaining about my life, I should have been praising it.
Instead of having a negative attitude about my life, I’m going to have a positive one and live it to its fullest. For the people that didn’t have the chance to live out their lives, I am gonna live for them. So the rest of my life, the choices and everything I want to accomplish is for those who died.

WHY IS SIX MILLION VOICES DIFFERENT?
More than a book, a presentation, a museum visit, or a walking tour
Six Million Voices’ virtual tours of concentration camps blend modern technology with original historical footage and digital multimedia for a deeply meaningful and thought-provoking experience.
Revelatory
Even for those who have studied the camps in depth, this is an eye-opening tour of the history, organization, place, perpetrators, victims, collaborators, and the unspeakable magnitude of events.
Immersive
Our expert educational tour guides combine modern technology and storytelling to give you an immersive experience which you’ll never forget – and that will inspire deep reflection and thinking.
Pioneering
Not everyone can physically visit the camps. Six Million Voices is the only available tour that allows everyone, no matter their location, to learn about the Holocaust in a respectful and impactful way.
Reaching six million people in six years
At Six Million Voices, we believe that Holocaust education is not only about uncovering the pain of history, but learning of the power that each one of us has to prevent human suffering.
Immersive, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable, these virtual tours show us the horrors that happen when people stay silent. Serving as a reminder that people continue to make bad choices, that freedom is fragile, and that we should never be indifferent.

How long is a virtual school tour?
No matter your destination, your tour will be no more than two hours long with a five-minute break halfway. At the end, you’ll have the opportunity for teacher-moderated Q&A with your expert guide.
What if the tour doesn't fit into our school schedule?
We will be happy to modify the length of the tour to fit into your schedule. Please email us at info@sixmillionvoices.org for more information.
What kind of content will students be shown during the virtual tour?
The content of the tour is similar to what you would find in a Holocaust museum. We invite you to take a public tour where you can preview the tour and ask us to adjust or remove certain images. As an educator, you can take the public tour at no cost after you register for a school tour for your students.
I don’t have a minimum of 25 students. Can I still book a tour?
For schools that have less than 25 students, we offer a joint tour with another school or group. Please get in touch with us and we can help you organize a joint school tour.
Where do we watch the tour and what do we need?
Your students can either watch the tour in their classrooms, or in an auditorium with multiple classes together. You need a reliable high-speed internet connection and Zoom installed on the device.
