A comprehensive guide to this shocking genocide, perpetrated in the mid 20th century. This course guides students through all the significant historical events of the Holocaust.
Utilising materials provided by the IOE, this course offers an in depth look at the Holocaust. Using objects, true stories and photographs, students will be assisted in understanding this major historical event and the impact it has had on the world. This will then extend further to a study of genocide in general, looking at the Rwandan genocide as another case study. Students will be encouraged to dig deep into the roots of anti-Jewish feeling and comprehend how radical ideologies can lead to ultimate terror and destruction on a national scale. The programme looks not only to educate those who take it on the historical events surrounding the Holocaust but bring to attention the importance of learning from history, in the interest of not repeating past mistakes.
