Clive Lawton was honoured in 2016 with an OBE for services to the Jewish community and education, is currently CEO of the Commonwealth Jewish Council, scholar-in-residence at JW3, an independent tribunal Chair for the NHS and a magistrate on the Bristol Bench. He first became involved in Holocaust education in the very early 1980s - when there wasn't any! Working then at the Board of Deputies, he persuaded the examination boards to include the Holocaust in O Level and A Level modern history syllabuses. When the National Curriculum was mooted in the late 80s, given his involvement with the National Curriculum Council, he played a part in securing the topic in history studies for all pupils at Key Stage 3. He was for over 10 years vice-chair of the Anne Frank Educational Trust in the 80s and 90s and the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam described his video lecture on teaching the Holocaust as the best piece of training material they had ever come across at that time. He developed educational materials on the subject for school-aged children and published what are still to date the only history books on the topic for middle-school aged children - 'The Story of the Holocaust' and 'Story of a Death Camp - Auschwitz' - which have been translated into half a dozen languages. He has been an educator for March of the Living UK for 6 years.
