This session takes teachers through a lesson designed for KS3 students which opens the complex area of post Holocaust trauma. It takes the case study of Leon Greenman who, after surviving the Holocaust, lived alone to the age of 97 and suffered the continuing effects of what he had experienced.

Teachers will get a rare insight into Leon’s overwhelming feeling of ‘survivor guilt’, deep rooted and complex fears, the torture of repeated nightmares and how this played out in everyday life.  Teachers will also be guided on how to assist their students to grasp this and contemplate whether the Holocaust ever ended for those who witnessed it.
