about programme
This programme is designed to give students a thorough understanding on the machinations behind the Holocaust. Throughout time spent at the Centre, students will be learning how events related to the end of World War I, the economic collapse of 1929, and the beginnings of the Nazi regime in Germany. The goal is for students to make connections between mitigating events, use of scapegoating, and the subsequent persecution carried out by the Germans during the Holocaust. Students will be able to identify the stages of persecution that are required in order to carry out the Holocaust & Final Solution
  • Stage 1: Definition of the “other” or “undesirable”
  • Stage 2: Isolation; remove the undesirable from mainstream society
  • Stage 3: Emigration; encourage the undesirable section of the population to leave on their own accord through application of race laws and economic sanctions
  • Stage 4: Ghettoization; forcibly remove undesirables to segregated sections of cities
  • Stage 5: Deportation; transport from ghettos to concentration/death camps
  • Stage 6: Mass murder
