Description:
Some tips for exploring the Holocaust using British Pathe news archive.
British Pathe news films record the discovery of the concentration camps in 1945 and related events in the years after. 60 years later many of the films still have the power to shock and to reach deep into the emotions. Many images and situations chime with images and reports that are current in the news about human behaviour in war situations.
There are many sequences and images that are harrowing and teachers will have to make their own decisions about how best to introduce them in the classroom.
There are hundreds of stories about the context of the rise of Hitler and the Nazi regime, the Second World War and its aftermath, including many stories about ‘refugees’, ‘displaced persons’, the establishment of Israel, the recovery of Europe and the course of the Cold War.
