HMD 2012 Special Educational Needs - Sir Ludwig Guttmann
The purpose of this resource is to give you the opportunity to teach your students about the link between the Paralympic games and the Holocaust. It is a chance to teach your students about making positive life choices – no matter how great the darkness of the past we can all strive, like Dr Guttmann, for a better future.
The lesson focuses on the life story of Paralympic founder Dr Guttmann and you may want to link it to work focused on the Paralympics. Suggestions for such work are given below.
