This week at Norham we are remembering the Holocaust

We are thinking deeply about what we can learn from this horrendous period in history.

We are thinking about our responsibility to ensure this is never repeated.

We are thinking about how we live our own lives and how we need to accept, tolerate and celebrate differences.

Review and

reflect The Holocaust

The Holocaust is a phrase that has been used to describe the mass murder of MILLIONS of Jewish people in Nazi occupied Europe during WWII.

However, some people do not like to use this phrase as in history it has meant a sacrificial offering to God.

The phrase GENOCIDE is more commonly used to describe mass murder, the want to irradiate a group of people … and it still takes place regularly today

The Nazi Party ruled Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s. They blamed the Jewish people for many problems in their country.

The Jewish people and many other groups of people in society were seen as UNDESIRABLE.

They believed any NON ARYAN people was harmful to the master race.

reflectStripping Jewish people of their rights….• Their homes and businesses were targeted • Jewish children were ridiculed, laughed at and bullied at school

for being INFERIOR. • Jews could only go out during the day and had a curfew on an

evening.• Jews could not go to the park, cinema, café, restaurants, gyms,

swimming pools, libraries – in fact anywhere public.• Jews could not use public transport such as buses. • Jews were not allowed soap, shaving cream, milk, butter or

eggs.• They were made to wear the star of David, were recognised

easily and bullied and intimidated on the streets.

GhettosJews were then forced out of their homes and into ghettos.

Once inside the ghetto Jews could not leave without permission from the Nazis – and the conditions inside were terrible.

Eventually the Jews were pushed, like animals, onto trains and taken to camps – where they were either gassed to death or worked to death.

Some groups of people were experimented on inside these camps by people like Dr Mengele. He never used pain killers and more often than not people died because of these experiments. Homosexuals, disabled and twins were some of these groups.

By the time the war ended, the Nazis lost and the camps were freed, 6 million Jewish and 5 million non Jewish people had been murdered. Some were so ill that they died following liberation.

Tolerating, accepting and celebrating kindness really just means showing kindness to each other.

How do we show kindness, tolerance and acceptance at Norham?

How could we improve this even further? What are your suggestions?
