‌The workshops were highly praised by students, their teachers, and staff from the Cape Town Holocaust Centre alike. The teachers and educators thought the interactive nature of the peer-guiding approach and the focus on children as subjects of history were excellent. In their feedback forms, students voiced how engaging and enriching they had found the experience. Thus, Ashly found the programme "incredible. The best way to learn about something is to interact with it and this has been an amazing lesson, on both the Holocaust and life in general"; Nabeelah felt "it was important to hear about the 'children under the Nazis' because you hardly hear about that" and commented: "I loved it. It was a real eye opener"; Luca enjoyed the pedagogy involved: "It was great to be involved in teaching the rest of the class. I liked listening to other students' opinions"; for Talah, the victims of the Holocaust became much more tangible: "I was shocked by the extent of the number of people who were murdered. I always knew it was 6 million Jews but I never truly understood what that meant".
