The Holocaust : a Key Stage 3 depth study

"This is History!" is the Schools History Project's Key Stage 3 scheme of work for National Curriculum history.

Through a combination of in-depth overview units it offers varied, relevant and challenging study for the whole Key Stage 3 history programme of study. "The Holocaust" provides a sensitive yet thought-provoking analysis of how and why Nazi persecution of the Jews escalated into genocide in World War II.

The Holocaust is a compulsory topic in Key Stage 3 National Curriculum but is also a major opportunity for citizenship education.

Ann Moore has built upon her experience of working with the Anne Frank Educational Trust and the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam to write a clear account of the Holocaust which places it firmly within its historical content, but also allows lessons to be learnt from it for life today.

The central task is to assess and compile evidence about the Holocaust and to present that evidence in the form of a website.
