Imperial War Museum report

Order Description

Formative Report.
Genocide Field Trip.
As part of your study for this module, you are required to attend 2 exhibits at the Imperial War Museum: The Holocaust Exhibition (https://london.iwm.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.1454) and the Crimes Against Humanity Exhibition (https://london.iwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.1747). Details of how to find the museum are available here: https://london.iwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.209
Please arrange a time to visit that is convenient to you but allow yourself time to prepare the report. The report is due in on the 5th of December, so it is strongly suggested that you visit the museum by the first week of December at the latest. Do allow yourself plenty of time for this visit. The material considered can be challenging. If you wish to bring other members of your family to the exhibition, please note that children under 11 are not normally allowed into these particular exhibitions and that they are recommended for children over 14.
When at the museum, please ensure that you work your way through the exhibits, listening to survivors’ stories and using the video as well as reading the material available. Please also spend time using the archive material made available in the Crimes Against Humanity exhibition. Please note that there are audio guides available for hire too. It is entirely up to you as to whether to hire one of these guides or not, but do please note that they are available in a number of languages. In preparation for your visit to the museum and your first field trip report please use the materials and links below.
