Secondary plus
Our Secondary Plus programme is designed for students from KS3 through to A-Level. Our sessions deepen factual historical understanding of the Holocaust by drawing on our collection and on the diverse and difficult experiences of our survivors. Each session also stimulates students to use their learning to consider current events, and their role as global citizens with the ability to make a positive impact on local communities. All sessions have been created to complement the National Curriculum and history exam boards on the Holocaust. All sessions are 2 hours long and accommodate up to 40 students.
Don’t forget to ask us about our travel subsidy scheme. We might be able to refund your travel expenses!

‘I found this exhibition very informative as it gave a lot of room for different stories and backgrounds. They also encouraged everyone to discuss and challenge different opinions which led to more information being learnt.’

Indoctrinating a Nation: Nazi Propaganda
Nazi propaganda manifested itself in a variety of ways, including media, architecture and education.
But what was the role of propaganda in turning friends against friends, neighbours against neighbours, ultimately leading them to persecution and murder?
We will consider the role of bias, the manipulation of media and other cultural objects, and their ability to influence audiences. Students are then asked to use their critical skills to evaluate contemporary sources of information, and discuss the importance of safeguarding against misinformation.

A Wounded Landscape: Every Picture Tells A Story
This session offers a unique opportunity to engage with historical images and contemporary photographs and to think critically about their content.
We will discuss why images are taken, who they are for, their purposes, if and how they have been manipulated, and whether they can be trusted as sources of factual information and knowledge.
By looking at Marc Wilson’s documentary project, ‘A Wounded Landscape: Bearing Witness To The Holocaust’, we explore contemporary photography can help to document the legacies of the Holocaust.
