  7. Life in the ghettos After Germany invaded Poland, they decide to use Poland as a “dumping ground” for Jews Jews were made to live in ghettos, which were small sections of cities or towns. Often they had walls around them and people were not allowed in or out. The Nazis were not sure what would happen to the Jews in these ghettos. Some wanted them to starve to death, others just wanted to keep them all in the same place. In Warsaw, 400,000 Jews were ordered to live in the Jewish district. The Ghetto made up less than 3 per cent of the city’s area but now had 1/3rd of its population. Only 1% of the houses in the Warsaw ghetto had running water. They were only rationed 300 calories a day (we need 2,000 to live). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9kW-EP2s0I 6.19

  8. Task: Source Analysis • Look at the source of the Warsaw Ghetto. • Label all the things you can see in the source. (4) • What message do you think the artist is giving about the ghetto and why? (5) • How useful is this source about finding out about the Warsaw Ghetto? Explain your answer! (6) • Can we trust the source? (7) explain!

  9. What can this source tell us about how Nazi policies escalated after 1939?

  10. The final solution • What was the final solution? • Why did the Nazi’s think they needed it? • How would this affect the lives of minorities in Nazi occupied Europe?

  11. Arthur Koestler, an American Journalist So far three million have died. It is the greatest mass-killing in recorded history: and it goes on daily, hourly as regularly as the ticking of your watch. I have been lecturing Allied troops for three years now and their attitude is always the same. They don’t believe it. What is this journalist talking about? Why do you think that no one believes him?

  12. 1942 • Before 1942 Jewish people had been transported from ghettos to concentration/work camps where they were worked to death or they were shot by the “Einsatzgruppen” killing squads • At the Wanassee Conference in Berlin Nazi leaders decided to carry out the “Final Solution” to the Jewish problem. • The Final Solution was to “killing every Jew in Europe by murder or working them to death in death camps or concentration camps” • An estimated 11 million people were killed • Auschwitz was one of 6 death camps built for this purpose

  13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2iEdfrTOwU • How was the woman transported to the death camp? • What do you think happened to her father? • What happened to the babies? • Why did her sister give her her shoes?

  14. Task: Why should we remember the Holocaust • You are being asked to explain in a school assembly why the Holocaust is so important to teach in schools. • Design a presentation to show why we remember the Holocaust. • Include: Description / explanation / causes / consequences / analysis / evaluation
