Jaya Carrier: Vice Principal, Westminster Academy] So I think the final challenge that teachers have with so many things is they are time limited, and especially if you're a history teacher thinking about how you might construct your curriculum and in a very limited time span, particularly if you're teaching it for example in Key Stage Three to Year Nine students, you need to make some pretty clear decisions about what it is you want to focus on.

James created the Holocaust galleries at the Imperial War Museum; now he examines a chapter of the Holocaust that has been left largely unexplored for more than 80 years. Americans are united in their disapproval of the Nazis’ brutality, but remain divided on whether and even how to act as World War II begins. In the months and years that followed, laws were introduced that restricted opportunities for Jewish people. During his time in one camp, he was forced to work at the crematorium, hauling coal to fuel the furnace. Episode 2 – Yearning to Breathe Free (1938-1942) After Kristallnacht, Germany’s Jews are desperate to escape Hitler’s tyranny.

I think we could start with the word ‘Holocaust’ itself, because we use this reflectively as a kind of a catch-all term. Through the learning device, students are given the choice to focus on an individual’s story; one of these is Anita’s. There were only 34 men of Leibish's entire transport of a thousand people who were known to have survived until the end of the war.

The process of persecution escalated in the late 1930s, before developing into a campaign of mass murder during the course of the Second World War. In good faith, not you know, in good faith about some of the issues, and to be confident to say, but you know, I don't understand that, or how did that happen, or why did they do that, or how they're thinking, and that's critical.

Episode 3 – The Homeless, Tempest- Tossed (1942-) The first reports of the killing reach the United States. He is currently completing a PhD under the Crosslands Scholarship at Royal Holloway College, University of London, on ideas of apocalypse in Holocaust and Cold War history. And to me, that issue about what it is you want to focus on really stems back to that question again of, what's the purpose of this and what's the learning outcome of this.To hide all traces of what had happened at Treblinka, the Nazis demolished the camp and turned it into a farm. Firstly, how we make sure that we might use imagery to ensure that we really humanize the people that we're talking about, but also difficulties with deciding about the use of atrocity images in particular.
