This worksheet was originally written for a series of AQA KS4 coursework lessons on how the ‘status’’ and ‘position’ of Jews changed in Europe 1880 - 1920. I have updated the resource and redesigned this lesson so it serves as an introduction to anti-Semitism in Weimar Germany.
The content of the lesson outlines the origins of anti-Semitism in Medieval and Reformation Germany and then focuses on its revival in 1880 and how it evolved as a result of the impact of the First World War and the crisis that Germany was facing in the early years of the Weimar Republic. The questions, graphic organiser and card sorts are all aimed to get students to analyse the sources and evaluate how the events impacted the ‘status’ and 'position of German Jews.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download both a Word and PDF version of the worksheet and the supporting graphic organiser and card sort. This particular version is our budget version, for a bit more you can buy the fun and interactive PowerPoint that accompanies the lesson. This resource is suitable for KS4, but is frequently used by Sixth Form students studying the topic at A Level so we uploaded this version to make it more affordable. You can also download from the TES our free resources on anti-Semitism in France and Russia covering the same period and our ever popular 'Anti-Semitism in Germany 1919 - 1945 booklet.
