History

TOPIC 3: Holocaust

Rationale:  The Holocaust was an unprecedented event in human history. Carried out by the Nazis and facilitated by the Germans and other collaborators, today the slogan of ‘Never Again,’ reminds us that humans must strive to be upstanding in the face of evil. This unit will utilise the educational expertise of Yad Vashem, The World Holocaust Remembrance Centre, to take students ‘safely in and safely out’ of one of the greatest tragedies of the modern era while introducing them to the events that would lead to the Holocaust.
