Holocaust Lesson 1: What is Genocide?

Powerpoint containing enquiry question, starter activity and video. (After pupils have completed the starter activity themselves, I like to do a group version using the handprint on slide 3. To tie nicely into the next activities and better pupils understanding of how genocide relates to identity, make sure the group handprint contains: the things we wear, the things we like to watch and read, the people we love, where we come from / our history, what we look like, where we go, where we live.)

Question sheet to be completed whist watching video. (I typically only show 4mins of the video.)

Sources on treatment of German Jews during Holocaust and table.
