Every year, in time for Holocaust Memorial Day, HETI or the Holocaust Education Trust of Ireland run the Crocus Project. Aimed at 11-12 year olds, it involves pupils in planting yellow crocuses to commemorate the 1.5 million children who died during the Holocaust. HETI send bulbs to participating schools together with a pack which gives guidelines and suggests classroom activities which encourage tolerance and respect for others.
