Holocaust L1 - What Was the Holocaust?

This lesson contains:

• A starter to consider what students already know about the Holocaust. Students then draw a mind map to gather ideas about why they study it, what happened and when and to whom.
• A video from YouTube which consolidates this and allows students to add to their knowledge. A slide then has suggested responses for some green pen work.
• An activity to study 3 interpretations of the word ‘Holocaust’ and students find common factors between them, making their own definition at the bottom of the worksheet.
• An introduction to stereotypes and students can annotate the picture of a Jewish stereotype. This will allow later study of German propaganda against the Jews. Students also have some slides to see on modern stereotypes which may interest them, before looking at how the Nazis then portrayed them.
• A plenary to describe two features of the Jewish stereotype.
