The Holocaust and the New Zealand school curriculum
The Holocaust can be studied as part of the Social Studies curriculum. The topic fits in with a number of conceptual strands, 1. Identity, Culture and Organisation, 2. Place and Environment, 3. Continuity and Change 4. The Economic World. The guidelines on how to fit these into Achievement objectives are under Education at the top of the page.
The Holocaust can also be included in the Senior History curriculum. The topic raises some searching questions about the significance of the past, change over time, and continuity in times of change, and Cause and effect. There are useful lesson ideas on this website under the Education heading.
