This is a 50 page slideshow of information, pictures and photographs on Auschwitz Birkenau. The slideshow consists of background information, pictures taken from the internet, and pictures from my own visit to Poland and the camps. The powerpoint was originally delivered to a Year 6 class as part of their WW2 topic, but it could be used or adapted for a KS3 audience. Some slides only contain pictures and will need to be backed up with historical knowledge.
