This is a sensitive yet challenging collection of activities that can be used by all ages and abilities to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. <br /> They require focus on the students thinking about two key areas:<br /> 1. Why should we remember the Holocaust?<br /> 2. Thinking about the people who were killed in the Holocaust.<br /> <br /> The students have a range of practical activities available, all of which can be used in some form of display if needed.<br />

<p>This assembly has been created for Holocaust Memorial Day. It starts by putting into perspective the sheer number of people murdered in the genocide by focusing on the figure 6,000,000 in real terms. It then considers how intolerance; racism and prejudice escalates and eventually can lead to genocide - testimonies of survivors are used to capture this. Have we learnt from the Holocaust? No - map of genocides around the world since the Holocaust. The assembly then moves onto the theme of resistance - what happens when people don’t speak out - clip of Marin Niemoller’s poem. The assembly end with the discussion of what can happen when people do act resist with a focus on Oskar Schindler - last 5 minutes of Schindle’s list included so that students can reflect on how many lives can be saved when people bravely resist brutality.</p> <p>Duration: 30 minutes, but can be adapted if you don’t have this much time.</p> <p>Suitable for KS2 - KS5</p>

<p>This assembly resource has been created with KS3 and KS4 secondary students in mind to be delivered on Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January). This resource has been created on Microsoft Powerpoint Teacher Notes have been added to the notes section underneath each relevant slide on the Powerpoint to support with the delivery of the content. <em>I am a history teacher and the content of this assembly resource is an extension of a type of activity that I would deliver to my history students when teaching the holocaust.</em></p> <p>This assembly resource offers a brief exploration using skills of inference of a historical artefact and relies upon student contributions through teacher questionning. A link to a Youtube video has been provided as part of this resource (please ensure you have access to youtube prior to use) This resource also makes reference to the 2024 Holocaust Memorial Day theme of ‘Fragility of Freedom’.</p> <p>The utmost care has been taken to ensure this resource has been created with the utmost respect to the victims of the holocaust and to ensure that students have the opportunity to connect and empathise to the human beings to whom the attrocities of the holocaust were committed. There a no images or corpses in this resource - however the murder of victims is discussed.</p> <p>I really hope you enjoy delivering this assembly and that your students find it engaging and valuable. If you are able to leave a review once you have taught it, I would be really grateful.</p> <p>Teaching Holocaust in history?

Range of whole school assemblies created to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.

<p>A resource to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the wider context of Holocaust Memorial Day.<br /> This worksheet looks at some groups of victims of the Nazis: Jews, Poles, Roma, Ukrainians with a range of activities (mostly numeracy based- such as completing outline graph or pie chart) looking at the number and proportion murdered as well as the Nazi’s ‘reasons’ for their murders.<br /> The information used makes it clear that the Jews were the main victims of the Nazis but that, in the words of the UN resolution, the victims included ‘countless members of other minorities.’</p>

<p>This assembly is simple and easy to follow. It has striking visuals which are easy for students to interpret interpret (see preview image).</p> <p>The Assembly starts with looking at how Tolerance works with other values to make us better people, followed by a definition of tolerance in pupil-speak.</p> <p>Examples of how Britain has become more tolerant over time are then introduced and then we introduce students to the idea of intolerance and what that means.</p> <p>I delivered this assembly during the week of January where Holocaust memorial day falls (27th January). Pupils learn about the Holocaust in History and many have a good understanding of it already - hence why the assembly is driven by the value of Tolerance, with a case study of the Holocaust then introduced.</p> <p>This is what can happen when intolerance is allowed to flourish I told the pupils.</p> <p>Despite Britain’s difficult imperial past, I outline how standing up to Nazi Germany and its intolerance is something Britain should be proud of.</p> <p>The assembly ends with practical suggestions that pupils can do in school and in wider life that helps them to demonstrate tolerance and build a more tolerance school and society.</p> <p>There is enough here for a 20-40 minute assembly - depending on how much you want to embellish the slides with your own exposition.</p>
