In this two-part series students are encouraged to explore and debate the events leading up to the Holocaust by attempting to gain an insight into Hitler’s ideology and the effects of his propoganda on public attitude. Students are challenged to consider what life was like for Jews, pre-World War II, at the beginning of Hitler’s antisemitic campaign. Students also learn about public support for and against the events that took place during the Nazi regime.
There is a keen literacy focus, with activities to support reading, to extend vocabulary. This features particularly in lesson 2, whereby students have to unpick the keywords; Resistor, Rescuer, Bystander and Perpetrator. This is then assessed by students applying this knowledge to a range of scenarios concerning the actions of different people in society, when students learn about the Kindertransport. The lessons develops students’ability to justify and evalaute by pushing them to provide reason and evidence to support their opinions.
The Lessons invite challenge and debate and are filled with AFL activities. The lessons allow for students to work in teams, pairs and encourage peer and self-assessment.
