Teaching high school students about the Holocaust without evidence to back it up can be tough. However, the following are four resources that can help your students to understand this topic better.
What is the Holocaust?
It is a genocide whereby six million Jews lost their lives during World War II. It took place between 1941 and 1945. A Memorial Day to mark the day is always held on the 27th of January. On this day, the world commemorates other genocides and persecutions like the events in Rwanda, Darfur, Cambodia, and Bosnia.
Websites on Holocaust
Consider visiting the official Holocaust Memorial Trust website for posters, booklets, and pin badges with your students. Additionally, you can advise them to go through it for further perusal.
