Future learning

This in-depth study of the Holocaust can be built upon in many ways. At key stage 4 the programme of study for citizenship provides scope for developing some of the issues explored in this unit.

In developing their understanding of causation, pupils can be provided with further examples of complex issues where there are also issues of morality.
