What were the footsteps to the Holocaust? This resource contains: 1x PowerPoint 1x Chronology Event Cards 1x Footsteps to the Holocaust Worksheet This lesson reflects on how the persecution of the Jews increased over a period of time after Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Students must first put the event cards in chronological order and then explain the different footsteps that led to the Holocaust. Students then reflect on the ‘change over time’ by creating a living graph and explain what happened to persecution over six years up to 1939 and the possible reasons for this. The importance of this lesson is for the students to realise that the Holocaust did not happen straight away, it was the culmination of a series of events.

What was discovered when the death camps were liberated? This resource contains: 1x PowerPoint 1x Source Information Sheet 1x Video This lesson examines what the soldiers discovered when they liberated the death camps. Students first reflect on the impact seeing horrendous sights would have on the soldiers as they were not expecting to see what they did. Students then look at sources to see what we can learn about how the Jews were treated in the camps and then question the reliability of the sources. Finally, students reflect on what they have learnt by creating a newsreel about what was discovered in the death camps. This lesson is hard hitting, when I taught it a number of students cried but were able to discuss the importance of learning about the Holocaust more after this lesson.
