AQA GCSE Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship

This lesson focuses on the change in policy towards the treatment of the Jews by the Nazis.

Students have to put events into chronological order and understand why the beginning of World War II changed everything.

Students will also learn about the Wannsee Conference and the experimental attempts by the Nazis to murder Jewish people in Europe from shooting to mobile gas vans, before deciding upon the use of Zyklon B crystals.

Using numbers and figures they also discover the sheer scale of the atrocities involved in this genocide and what happened in the concentration and death camps.

There are some excellent links to video evidence to accompany the lesson, which are suitable to show.

The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.

The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
