Click here to download a glossary to support teaching the Holocaust to students of Key Stage 3 and above.
It contains photos, sections of survivor testimony, and a special feature on one Holocaust survivor, Zdenka Fantlová. A photo of the suitcase Zdenka used when being transported to Theresienstadt and then to Auschwitz appeared in a booklet produced by the Guardian in September. Zdenka’s story is about to be published for the first time in the UK on Holocaust Memorial Day 2010.
Her book is dedicated:
To an unknown member of the British Army,
who, through his humanity, saved my life in
Bergen-Belsen in April 1945.
Watch a video.
You can find out more Zdenka’s story in the glossary.

Anyone who can shed light on the identity of this officer is asked to get in touch.
