| There are numerous sites
on the World Wide Web that are related to the subject of the Holocaust. However,
a person on the web who seeks information on this subject must go through
a long search in order to locate a site with the desired information. Some
Holocaust sites are used to inform the public of Holocaust books, Holocaust
related courses or Holocaust Museums and exhibits. Other sites
are covering compensation for Holocaust victims or recent political developments
related to the subject like the Swiss bank affairs (not to mention the Holocaust
denial on the web). My short list of Holocaust links will direct the reader
only to these sites that provide factual historical data. In this way I hope
to make this subject more accessible to the public and to avoid the lengthy
and unnecessary search on the Internet. If you come upon a good and informative
site that I have missed please kindly inform me about it. Any information
of a dead link on my site will be appreciated as well. (See Guest Book at
the bottom of the page)
The
Nizkor Project
Nizkor is a collage of projects focused on the Holocaust, and its
denial: Arad (Belzec) lists 246,922 deportees from within
the General Government area alone, and a total of 600,000 killed in all,
primarily Jews, with perhaps a few hundred to a few thousand Gypsies as well.
He adds, ........This figure was confirmed by the Glowna Komisja Badania
Zbrodni Hitlerowskich w Polsce (Main Commission for Investigation of Nazi
Crimes in Poland) and was accepted by the judical authorities of the Federal
Republic of Germany. (Encyclopedia, Vol. I, 178)
Ghetto
Bochnia, Holocaust 1941 - 1943. (By Yizkor)
Historical research and testimonies of the Holocaust. History of ghetto Bochnia
from its formation to the liquidation in September 1943. Labor camps, Belzec
death camp and Jewish resistance in the Krakow district: In the spring
and summer of 1942 the mood in ghetto Bochnia was very tense. Mass expulsions
of Jews took place all through Galicia (see details above). From the month
of May 1942 The Einsatzgruppen became very active in the Krakow region. Reports
of extermination squads murdering entire communities turned into a daily
event. It became apparent that the Jewish community of Bochnia was heading
toward a similar tragic fate.
The Warsaw Ghetto,
The Ghetto Fights
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Jonathan Richardson: What was
not understood at the time was that the war in the East marked the start
of the "final solution". Up until June 1941 Jews and Poles were both victims
of German repression, numerically however more Poles were victims than Jews.
With the war in the East the "Einsatzgruppen" changed the nature of the
repression and the emphasis. One of the four Einsatzgruppen active in Eastern
Europe, "Einsatzkommando-3" , reported that from June until 25 November 1941
they killed; 1 Armenian ,5 Gypsies, 28 Russian POW, 44 Poles, 56 Partisans,
653 Mentally ill, 1,064 Communists and 136,421 Jews.
Holocaust - Understanding
& Prevention
Holocaust - Understanding & Prevention
- includes many different aspects of the Holocaust. Online - Magazine - for
Post Holocaust Issues by Alexander Kimel - Holocaust survivor:
Hitler unleashed the World War II, which claimed the lives of 50 million
people, most of them were Christians. He also unleashed a reign of terror;
thousand of victims perished in concentration camps, millions of Russian
POW were starved to death, thousand of hostages were shot in retaliation,
but only the Jews and the Romano people (Gypsies) were facing total
annihilation.
Anti-bias
Education Resources:
The Southern Institute for Education and Research is a non-profit race and
ethnic relations center dedicated to promoting tolerance through education
and training:
I wouldn't say directly after the death of Pilsudski. It had nothing to do
with that. I would blame the Nazi propaganda from Germany. This propaganda
infected the Polish people and Ukrainian. And people started to look at us
like we're some kind of parasites living on their account.
Literature
of the Holocaust
A full array of materials relating to The Literature of the Holocaust (English
293) in the English Gopher at Penn. By Al Filreis Professor of English,
University of Pennsylvania: The "Holocaust" refers to the period from
January 30, 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945
(V-E Day), when the war in Europe ended. While it is impossible to ascertain
the exact number of Jewish victims, statistics indicate that the total was
over 5,860,000. Six million is the round figure accepted by most authorities.
Informative Resources
of the Holocaust
A general overview of the Nazi Rise to power, then Hitler's actual plans
being carried out, to the end of the Holocaust: Ghettos, transit camps,
and forced labor camps were all used in addition to concentration camps by
the Germans and their collaborators to imprison their victims. The conditions
were horrible, food was kept scarce on purpose, disease spread like wildfire,
and life was desperate. Many committed suicide just to escape the situation.

FTP Site
Holocaust FAQ Information - an FTP site with materials on the Holocaust:
On January 30, 1942, ... Hitler reaffirmed to the German public his prewar
prophecy that a world war would result in the destruction of Jewry. Three
days later, in private, he told Himmler and other evening guests: "Today
we must conduct the same struggle that Pasteur and Koch had to fight. The
cause of countless ills is a bacillus: the Jew....We will become healthy
if we eliminate the Jew." (Hitler's speech in the Sportplast on 30 Jan.)
The Holocaust: A Tragic
Legacy
ThinkQuest Holocaust Team: How do you teach events that defy knowledge,
experiences that go beyond imagination? How do you tell children, big and
small, that society could lose its mind and start murdering its own soul
and its own future? How do you unveil the horrors without offering at the
same time some measure of hope? Hope in what? In whom? In progress, in science
and literature and God? -- Elie Wiesel
