Resources for Holocaust Memorial Day and Teaching and Learning about the Holocaust
In May last year, Jewish teachers met to exchange and discuss ideas and resources for teaching pupils and staff about the Holocaust. The outcome was a range of suggestions for using novels, creative writing, music, drama, art, exhibitions and museums to enrich our understanding of the Holocaust. Please see the resource list attached to help you with your own ideas. We would like to make this an even more comprehensive guide to resources and welcome further suggestionsor references of material you might use this year that we can circulate. Just email us back and we’ll add your ideas to the list.

I am writing to recommend ‘Address Unknown’ by Kressmann Taylor (Souvenir Press) as a resource for teaching pupils and staff about the Holocaust.
Written on the eve of the Holocaust as a series of letters between an American Jew and his German friend, ‘Address Unknown’ is a haunting tale of immense and enduring impact, exposing the poison of Nazism.
A rediscovered classic, originally published in 1938 – and now an international bestseller, revealing the extraordinary power of the pen as a weapon. This is a book that needs to be read.
Readers 5 Star Comments on Amazon.co.uk:
I personally feel that all GCSE history students (myself being one) should read this book. It only takes 30 minutes, and really shows both the political and social views in Germany in 1933. Of course, when reading a book one must remember the context. This was written in 1939 when governments all over the world were denying what was happening in Germany, and now looking back on it, it shows the striking difference between the public view, and the official view of a country.
Overall, a beautiful book that will stay with me forever.
