Presenting the Holocaust in the Classroom

Hi guys,
I am currently taking a course The Holocaust in Historical Perspective and my professor brought to my attention this great website. I thought I'd share this site with all of you who are interested in teaching social studies. This site have a bunch of translated primary documents.


The Nizkor Project: www.nizkor.org
A really great web-hunt could be created using this site. There is information on each major player of the Holocaust. There is also a great deal on the various camps created during the period. There is work done regarding the Nuremberg Trials. There are transcripts, documents, and pictures from the trials. Last but not least, there is an Archive section which includes e-books, and documents from just about any organization or person related to the period. There are quite a few suggested books that are great to help you also learn more about the topic. My favorite part of the site is the 66 Questions and Answers about the Holocaust. These questions provide evidence against Holocaust Deniers. It takes a look at what Holocaust denial theorist propose and combats against them with specific evidence (and links to this evidence).
