British Holocaust education is predominantly Auschwitz-centric. Whilst it is, of course, important for students to learn about this, the deadliest of all the Nazi camps, one of the website's aims is to promote better understanding about the other concentration camps established in Nazi-occupied territory (in keeping with the focus of KL, labour and transit camps are not featured in this resource). This includes knowledge of the fate of other prisoners incarcerated in concentration camps who were not targeted for extermination, an aspect that is minimally explored in the British curriculum.

Users of the website can access maps, documents (translated into English), photographs, films and testimonies regarding the history of the concentration camps, from the infamous camps at Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and Dachau to lesser-known sites such as Esterwegen, Herzogenbusch and Vaivara. Documents are divided into themes – for example, 'Daily Life', 'Perpetrators' and 'Holocaust' – and teachers can also access lesson plans and recommended further reading to incorporate the website and its resources into their teaching. The website does not feature graphic imagery, meaning it is accessible for younger students (in the UK, the Holocaust is taught to pupils from the age of 13). Official accounts on both Twitter and Instagram were launched in early 2019, sharing photographs, documents and facts concerning significant anniversaries, information about the concentration camps and individuals' stories.
