Laughter can be a powerful form of resistance. So, on that note… Hitler and Goebbels are standing atop the Eiffel Tower after the conquest of France. Hitler says “Goebbels, I’d like to give the people of France something wonderful now that I’m in charge.” Goebbels says “Go on then - jump.”

Mnemonics can help students to spell the trickier words in the syllabus. To help our GCSE Historians remember how to spell ‘Auschwitz’ we remember that… All Untermench Suffered Carriages Hauling Wronged Individuals To Zero #Hustory #HistoryTeacher #Mongolia

Our GCSE Historians “Interviewed” a range of witnesses to the Kristallnacht and produced newspaper reports for the Ulaanbaatar Times #History #HistoryTeacher #Mongolia

Seen today in the city. It got a chuckle from me 😆 #Ulaanbaatar #Mongolia

Just read that the German term for the Phoney War is the ‘Sitzkrieg’, and that made me chuckle 😂 #History

Just like it happens in the movies, a student has finally left an apple on my desk!! 🍎 #Apple #TeacherLife

@twonks.bsky.social are my new favourite thing! Go check them out 😂

I’ve been reading Antony Beevor’s “The Second World War” and it’s spectacular! Approachable, detailed without becoming ponderous, and truly engaging. Highly recommended! #History

On 1st September 1939 German and Russian troops invaded Poland starting the Second World War. Poland, having no knowledge of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, didn’t defend its eastern borders and was soon divided between the Nazi and Soviet dictators. #History #HistoryTeacher #Nazi #GCSE

Very interesting @histassoc.bsky.social lecture from @linseyrobb.bsky.social this morning on the Conscientious Objectors of WWII, and the more practical approach the military took to those who refused to fight. #historyteacher

The Nazi policy of ‘Autarky’ stifled Germany’s imports and subsidised farmers to reduce reliance on international trade. Hitler wanted the Third Reich to be self-sufficient. The plan failed and the subsequent food requisitions led to the starvation of millions across Europe #History #historyteacher

Good luck teaching *ANYTHING* after the Student Council start dropping off Valentine’s Day presents last lesson on a Friday! 😂🏹💕 #HistoryTeacher #EduSky #EduSkyUK #ValentinesDay

By 1938 Stalin’s ‘Great Terror’ began to affect the ordinary men and women of the Soviet Union. This fear was encapsulated in the age old joke: FIRST MAN: “What do you think of Stalin?” SECOND MAN: “The same as you, comrade.” FIRST MAN: “In which case I will have you arrested!” #HistoryTeacher

A layover on my way home seems like the perfect time to dig into this little gem by Conal Smith and @drelliottwatson.bsky.social - somebody I have professionally admired for some time. I’m sure this will be every bit as good as “Blowing up the Nazis” 👍🏻 #historyteacher

‘Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ isn’t going away any time soon so, as history teachers, it’s important to know how to manage students from that flawed level of understanding into a more accurate view of the Holocaust. #historyteacher

A lovely way to spend an afternoon. Worth every penny! #Mongolia
