Exploring the Holocaust is a free, comprehensive and flexible cross-curricular scheme of work produced by the Holocaust Educational Trust for use at Key Stage 3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and at S2 in Scotland, although it can be adapted for teaching of older age groups. Exploring the Holocaust is built around 15 core lessons in History, Religious Education (or Philosophy where appropriate), and Citizenship or PSHE. It is also recommended that English be incorporated: a guide to teaching the Holocaust in English can be found below, where teachers will also find further resources which can be added to the scheme of work and guidance on incorporating Drama and Art.
English
It is intended that English should play a crucial role in the delivery of the scheme of work. Recommendations for texts, together with advice on core principles for effective teaching of Holocaust-related literature, can be found in the guide below.
