HMD 2011 Religious Education/Citizenship (Post 16 extension work)
Give students a copy of the case study. If you choose to work through the original Religious Education lesson then move straight on to the discussion section. If this document is your starting point then allow ten minutes for students to read through the case study.
Points to discuss
Why did the Nazis develop such a detailed policy on disabled people? Use the evidence found in the first three paragraphs of the case study to consider what they were hoping to achieve.
Use the Internet to find out more about present day Human Rights in Europe. How would present day European Human Rights Legislation prevent both drafting and applying the Nazi policy against disabled people today?
You can download the complete lesson plan below. Please don’t forget to order our free Campaign Pack which will assist you in your activities for HMD 2011. The pack contains free posters, a film, advice and hand out material.
