Upper Sixth Form Historians visited the Imperial War Museum and the Wiener Holocaust Library on Tuesday as part of their A Level studies. Workshops at both sites were offset by a tour of IWM’s Holocaust Gallery.
With enquiries focussing on the evolution of the Holocaust – complicity, collaboration and resistance – pupils collated evidence and deployed contemporary documents to inform their judgements. To conclude the day, pupils visited the Library’s unique collection of over one million items including published and unpublished works, press cuttings, photographs and eyewitness testimony as our most senior historians explored aspects of the Holocaust which saw the deaths of six million Jews. Through self-guided and directed study, pupils looked at personal stories to think about the role of individuals and governments during one of the most brutal times in European history.
