This lesson was developed in partnership with the UCL Beacon School programme in Holocaust Education, 2022. This lesson looks at the 1190 York Pogrom as part of a scheme of learning about the Holocaust. This lesson aims to get students to draw links and comparisons between other forms of anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism from different time periods from history.

Lesson 1 of a scheme of learning entitled ‘How should we remember the Holocaust?’ I have developed as part of the Beacon School project with University College London. Within this lesson, students look at the story of Sinti boxer Johann Trollman.
