This is a tool provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to help teachers organize their instruction of the Holocaust. It speaks to the rationale for the teaching and provides guidelines for teaching about genocide, a very sensitive topic. There are also links for both teachers and students which give a comprehensive understanding of the Holocaust. The images and first person accounts are riveting.  

The Institute for Holocaust Education site provides educational resources, workshops, survivor testimony for both students and educators of all ages and all levels of learning. The site is designed to ensure appropriate, accurate, and authentic lessons/materials are provided to the students so they are able to understand the political, social, and intellectual conditions that led to the Holocaust while recognizing stereotypes, prejudice and racism. The site also provides its users with additional references (i.e.) books, web links, exhibits, and a website dedicated to the Nebraska Holocaust Memorial.

This website is a great resource for students looking for information about the Holocaust. Besides their own archive of Holocaust material, they have links to several other sites which also have primary archival material. This would be a great palce for students to use for their senior Holocaust projects.

This site is dedicated to remembrance of Holocaust victims. It has some primary source archives like diaries, photographs, art work, and testimonies. It would be a great place to start some primary research for senior Holocaust projects.

This site has a variety of resources for teachers and students on the history of the holocaust. Also covered is anti-semitism and genocide. The online presentations, especially the personal perspective of survivors are haunting.

The ushmm or the United States Holocaust Museum is and imporant website because it gives you access to anything that pretains to the Holocaust. Not only information about the event, but also the survivors themselves.

This is a sobering wesite that documents the events, the people and the history of the Holocaust. The site also addresses genocide and those who are at risk today.

I thought this was a good resources for documents dealing with the Holocaust. The online exhibitions are on many different topics and cover a lot of information. They include photographs, video, audio, maps, and transcripts of interviews. Each subject topic also has listing of related publications and websites for each subject. There is also a Holocaust Encyclopedia and a learning site for students specifically where you can browse different subject areas or by document type. One that I found interesting was browsing by ID cards where you can look at different individuals and it would give their photo and story and background information.

The Holocaust Memorial Center has facinating primary resources which include oral testimonies, art, and photos. This resource provides powerful personal connections between the artifacts and the researcher. Materials would be appropriate for students in grades 6-12 studying the holocaust, history, or comparison/contrast with global current events involving genocide . Educator and student resources are available.

Group of primary sources put together by the College of Education at the University of Florida.   Made for educators who value the use of primary sources in their classrooms.

This site teaches far more than history to our students. The photos, documents, and first-hand accounts of the Holocaust and World War II are presented in a way that encourages students to see others as people; not by color, nationality, ability, etc. This is an ideal way to give students primary material to improve their social/cultural literacy as well as emotional literacy. It is powerful and poignant, a site that could benefit any student, intermediate age and higher.
