The Holocaust was the systematic, state-engineered genocide of the Jewish people by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, resulting in the murder of approximately six million Jewish people, including one and a half million children. At the same time, other groups were persecuted by the Nazi regime and their collaborators. The Holocaust was a defining event in the 20th Century that teaches us powerful and enduring lessons about humanity in shaping our world today. The Holocaust is, at its core, a human story which makes us question how it was humanly possible. It allows students to recognise the short and long-term causes and effects of prejudice, discrimination and, ultimately, genocide.
