This powerful and sensitively designed lesson pack offers a comprehensive and age-appropriate exploration of life and conditions in Nazi concentration camps. Suitable for KS3 and KS4, the resource supports students in developing a deeper understanding of the human experience during the Holocaust through historical evidence, survivor testimony, and reflective activities.
The pack includes a detailed student booklet with structured tasks, source analysis, and space for personal reflection. Activities are designed to build empathy, historical understanding, and critical thinking, while also supporting literacy and respectful discussion.
Accompanying the booklet is a fully guided PowerPoint presentation, which leads students through the lesson with carefully selected images, survivor quotes, and discussion prompts. The presentation is structured to support a 1-hour lesson, with flexibility to extend into a second session for deeper exploration or follow-up writing tasks.
Topics covered include:
The Final Solution
Changing nature of concentration camps - detention, labour, death camps
Daily life in concentration camps
Conditions of forced labour, starvation, and overcrowding
The importance of remembrance and testimony
