REVIEW:
This is a rich resource for history teachers or anyone interested
in learning more about the holocaust. The multimedia learning center
includes text files and thousands of photos featuring the Jews,
the Nazis, Resistance and Rescue, anti-Semitism and the final solution,
the world response, and much more. Several virtual exhibits are
available, from the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance
archives, including the story of a rescuer of Jews during the Nazi
Holocaust, the struggle for human dignity during the Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising in 1943, and images of the Polish Jews. The exhibits include
articles, original documents, photographs and other educational
materials. The special collections consist of ninety-three topics
featuring over thirteen thousand primary documents in English, German
and Hebrew from the Institute of Documentation in Israel. Students
will find quick answers to their research questions in the FAQ area
that contains an interactive glossary of the Holocaust, an interactive
timeline of the Holocaust, answers to 36 commonly asked questions
about the Holocaust in three languages and current articles and
publications. Additionally, there is a list of teaching resources
