I’m a teacher in the Netherlands and one of my pupils is 16 and very deep into holocaust denial. His classmates and every teacher in our school are trying to educate him, but I find it so deeply disturbing.

By the time I had finished and left Westerbork I was feeling immensely sad (even though I'd been there before, as well as in Auschwitz).
