The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
http://www.ushmm.org
The USHMM site offers the Web's most extensive selection
of archival material having to do with the Holocaust. The
archives contain photographs, documents, films and videos,
and the oral histories of hundreds of Holocaust survivors.
If you want to learn more about the events of the
Holocaust, a tour through this site will serve as a moving
and provocative starting point.
Simon Wiesenthal Center
http://www.wiesenthal.com
In 1977, Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor, founded
both The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles and a center
in his own name with the goal of promoting Holocaust
remembrance and the defense of human rights. The center's
Web site provides an exhaustive selection of educational
materials dealing with the Holocaust and its
reverberations, such as how to respond to those who deny
the Holocaust ever happened.
The Holocaust History Project
http://www.holocaust-history.org
The Holocaust History Project is an archive of
Holocaust-era documents and photographs that you can
download and print for free. This site also maintains a
thorough list of links to other Holocaust Web sites.
The Nizkor Project
http://www.nizkor.org
Nizkor's site is organized into five sections: Holocaust
research today, the camps, the Nuremberg trials,
individuals involved in the Holocaust and Holocaust
studies, and a collection of special features, each
focusing on a particular aspect of the Holocaust. This
format facilitates browsing specific areas of interest and
serves as an excellent means for approaching the daunting
amount of Holocaust topics.
Facing History and Ourselves
http://www.facing.org
Facing History and Ourselves, a Boston-based educational
organization, uses the Holocaust as a model for comparing
history to contemporary society. Its mission is to engage
students in an examination of racism, prejudice, and
anti-Semitism and to foster tolerance. The Facing History
Web site is an outstanding resource for study guides,
books, and multimedia materials on the Holocaust, and it
offers an "online campus" that joins educators around the
world.
Cybrary of the Holocaust
http://www.remember.org
As its name suggests, this Web site serves as an online
library of the Holocaust. The Cybrary's collection of
Holocaust information and materials is astoundingly vast
and includes a bookstore of more than 2,000 books on the
Holocaust that you can purchase online.
The Jewish Student Online Resource Center
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/holo.html
This Holocaust site produced under the auspices of the
American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise offers all the
tools necessary to provoke students and teachers alike to
undertake a meaningful investigation of the Holocaust.
JSOURCE presents several aspects of the Holocaust not
covered elsewhere such as the Jewish resistance movement,
the burning of books by the Nazis, and the relationship of
the Vatican to the Holocaust.
Books
Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and
Memory.
By Deborah Lipstadt. New York: Free Press, 1993.
This carefully researched book, which triggered the
lawsuit that lies at the heart of the NOVA film "Holocaust
on Trial," is a thorough denial of the arguments of
Holocaust deniers, who, Lipstadt stresses, threaten to
undermine the Western rationalist tradition with their
dangerous distortions of history.
The Holocaust: The Jewish Tragedy.
By Martin Gilbert. London: William Collins Sons, 1986.
A comprehensive retelling of the nightmare that was the
Holocaust, this book attempts, as the author writes in the
preface, "to draw on the nearest of the witnesses, those
closest to the destruction, and through their testimony to
tell something of the suffering of those who perished, and
are forever silent."
Hitler's Death Camps: The Sanity of Madness.
By Konnilyn G. Feig. New York: Holmes & Meier, 1979.
This thick book by a respected historian focuses on the
19 official Nazi concentration camps and the people
associated with them, both the dehumanizers and the
dehumanized.
The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of
Genocide.
By Robert Jay Lifton. New York: Basic Books, 1986.
When Lifton began researching this penetrating book, he
told a Holocaust survivor that he was having nightmares
about Auschwitz, which figures largely in the book.
"Good," said the survivor. "Now you can do the work." And
he has: This book, for all the macabre nature of the
subject—Nazi medical experimentation—is
riveting.
