CD-ROM

The Holocaust and Genocide: Why Does It Happen? (eLc eligible)

In association with Hodder Murray

This fully interactive, networkable CD-ROM offers an innovative approach to teaching and learning about the Holocaust and modern-day genocide to students aged 11–16.  It draws on a rich selection of source material, including audio files and video clips containing archive footage and survivors’ testimony.  It provides extensive coverage of the Holocaust, and draws comparisons with events in Rwanda and the Balkans, enabling effective integration of the resource into RE and Citizenship lessons.  It encourages meaningful historical investigation as well as the exploration of human rights and the relevance of past events to today’s society.  The resource also includes adaptable student activities designed to stimulate thinking skills and understanding.

“This remarkable educational software allows teachers and learners to bring survivors into the classroom to share their experiences of genocide... Many department heads within UK secondary schools have lauded the approach of the content, which aims not only to explain what happened, but to encourage students to explore for themselves and reach their own conclusions.”
