Holocaust L8 - Did the Jewish People Resist?

This lesson contains:

• A ‘do it now’ starter based on previous learning on the course, but this can be edited to suit what you have taught.
• An introduction to the idea of resistance and how it manifests. Students can explore types of resistance that can be done other than force. They then get introduced to some images of resistance in the ghettos, then discuss a ‘word wall’ with different ways the Jews resisted. Students categorise them as giving hope, morale or those preserving values and beliefs.
• An overview of the difficulties faced when trying to escape from concentration camps. Students examine an excerpt and write down 3 reasons escape was hard. They then give specific examples from the next slide.
• A guided reading task on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising with questions around the outsides, differentiated to show where the information can be found.
• A plenary to explain what resistance meant to Jewish people and what it means to them also.
