Holocaust L6 - Children's Kindertransport Experiences

This lesson contains:

• A ‘do it now’ starter which you can edit as needed to revise concepts you have previously taught.
• An introduction to the word ‘refugee’ which students discuss and can write a definition of. They can discuss why children may have been refugees in the 1930’s from Germany.
• A background tot he Kindertransport program, including the reasons after Kristallnacht, the British hesitation and then their eventual offer of help. The students consolidate this by filling in a gap fill once you have gone through the slides.
• A short look at the experience of Stephanie Shirley by watching a video interview with her and discussing her difficulties in the kindertransport program.
• The main task to study a series of sources containing experiences of different youths who came the Britain. Students then use this to complete the diagram and questions on their worksheets to show the experiences of the journey, arriving and whether they felt welcome.
• A plenary to discuss how we remember this event, and to re-review their definitions of refugees and summarise the experiences they learned about.
