As a language arts teacher, who taught about the Holocaust, I discovered I needed to pull resources from many locations. This web page, a project of my Mandel Fellowship with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is an attempt to provide students, educators, and parents with a starting point. I have read all materials listed and used many of them in my teaching, both in the classroom and in my current position as a Holocaust educator for a Holocaust organization. Web sites listed are only a partial listing, but contain links to other sites. It should be noted that the comments regarding items are mine unless noted otherwise and are meant to help the user evaluate choices.
