Holocaust History

12 A-1 size posters

This series of 12 A1-size posters introduces the history of the Holocaust with powerful graphics and concise yet detailed text.  It is ideal for use in schools.  The posters stimulate pupils to ask questions and promote discussion, providing food for thought with moving and significant quotations from those involved.

“The Holocaust Poster series has proved very useful both as a direct teaching aid and as a general stimulus.  The posters contain extensive information presented in a lively and stimulating manner and have intrigued pupils even when they are not studying the subject.  As a result they are keen to learn about the Holocaust and often refer to posters both to support their arguments and to ask questions.”

Reflections

2 A1-size, full-colour posters

Designed as a thought-provoking focal point, these two posters each contain a single, evocative image complemented by a reflective poem about the Holocaust and its meaning.  Although they are a significant resource in their own right, they may also be used in conjunction with the Holocaust History posters above.

“The Reflections Posters have sparked the interest of students walking through the History Department.  They have proved a great stimulus for questions and a starting point for discussions, not only about the Holocaust but moral questions in general.”

British Rescuers before and during the Holocaust

8 A1-size, full-colour posters

A set of 8 posters and teachers’ guide on the theme that “One Person Can Make A Difference”, focussing on the courage of individuals who chose to help save lives before and during the Holocaust. The posters feature the stories of British rescuers recognised as Righteous Among The Nations by Yad Vashem (some little known) and the story of Nicholas Winton’s rescue of hundreds of children through the Kindertransports.  An invaluable resource for schools, colleges, libraries and all Holocaust Memorial Day organisers, and for Citizenship course teachers.

“The Beth Shalom ‘Rescuers’ poster series was used by organisers of Holocaust Memorial Day events in 2006 as a complement to the theme of “One Person Can Make A Difference”.  These posters made complex issues easy to understand for a variety of audiences and humanised events which can often be difficult to comprehend.”

Rwandan Survivors

6 A1-size, full-colour posters

Visual, informative, educational, intensely moving; five Rwandan survivors share their personal experience of the 1994 genocide.  Introduced by former International Development Secretary Clare Short, these eyewitness accounts highlight both the horror and the heroism.  Historical context is moulded around each story, linking key aspects of the genocide, its precursors and aftermath to the personal account.

“‘Leave none to tell the story’ was the perpetrators’ mantra.  This is thwarted by the commitment of the survivors and Aegis to tell their stories.  This fantastic set of posters gives a very good introduction to Rwanda and the tragic events of 1994, and ensures that  the survivors’ stories are told to the world.”
