Summary:

Steve Richardson at Mill Hill School, Ripley uses the testimony of survivors, plus letters, documents and newspaper articles as a basis for his Year 9 lesson on liberation. He begins by asking his class what they think the word evokes, and the students come up with a range of possibilities, including joy, happiness, relief and confusion. Steve concentrates on a piece of film testimony from Leon Greenman, one of the very few British Jews in Auschwitz. At the end of the lesson the students are asked to re-assess their understanding of the word liberation in relation to the Holocaust. In view of the evidence presented, liberation becomes less of a joyful concept, but one tinged with notions of sorrow, loss and emotional entrapment.
