Five things everyone should know about the Holocaust: • People are still affected by it today, some are still afraid to wear the Star of David in public. • It wasn’t just Jews who were persecuted, but Gypsies, Homosexuals and Communists. • Near the end of the war, the Germans took the inmates on a ‘death march’ for many miles. • Not all the camps were Death camps; some were Concentration camps, where people were worked to death instead of being killed outright. • The systemic killing of all these people was completely legal. Even so, the Germans fled Auschwitz soon before the war ended, leaving the Jews behind to die.

1 In 1942, when most of Europe was under Nazi rule, the Nazi leaders met at Wannsee, near Berlin, to discuss that they called a ‘final solution to the Jewish problem’/ At the Wannsee Conference they decided on the murder of every Jew in Europe, either by working them to death or by execution.
2 From 1940 onwards Jews in Poland were made to live in ghettos. These were walled-off areas of towns or cities which they were not allowed to leave. The 400,000 Jews of Warsaw, for example, were made to live in an area only 2% of the size of their city.
3 Life in the ghetto was abominable, and thousands died. There was no medicine. The food ration allowed was a quarter of that available for Germans, barely enough to allow survival. The water supplies were contaminated and epidemics of tuberculosis, typhoid and lice were common, Bodies of new victims piled up in the street faster than they could be carried away.
4 At Auschwitz extermination camp, prisoners were divided into two groups: those who were to die in the gas chambers, and those who were to work. Many of those chosen to work became slave labourers, building a massive factory for making synthetic oil and rubber.
5 Jews in the ghettos organised resistance on a number of occasions. Their greatest act of resistance took place in the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943. On 19th April, thousands of German troops entered the ghetto to remove all remaining Jews to the extermination camps. Several hundred Jews, armed only with pistols and petrol bombs, tried to halt them. In the desperate battle that followed, the Germans destroyed the entire ghetto with fire and bombs, killing 5,000 Jews.
Welcome to Philips High School's History Department Blog
This is the blog of the history department at Philips High School.
Our aim is to encourage students to find out more about the past and to achieve success at GCSE level.
We want students to enjoy finding out about their past and so will make a lot of modern technology through the use of the Internet, Podcasting, blogging and interactive materials.
Students will be given opportunities to work with artefacts and other sources of evidence, go to sites of historical importance, join in with additional history clubs, take part in competitions and to be proud of their achievements in developing the skills needed to be a successful historian.
