The History Place has a lot of information about Nazi Germany and World War II. Two features you may not be able to easily find are the Timeline on World War II in Europe (http://www.his toryplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/ww2time.htm) and the Timeline on the Holocaust (http://www. historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/timeline.html). The Holocaust Timeline goes from 1938 to 1945. It lists the important events in the Holocaust. There are links within many of the events which will take you to pictures showing the people or places described in the timeline. Below each picture is a short caption explaining the picture.

This site will give you a very good overview of the Holocaust. It is divided into eight sections: History, Concentration Camps, Resistance, Aftermath, Biographies, a glossary, an interactive section, and additional pictures and movies. This web site was created by high school students. The most interesting section to me was section on Resistance. It has information on uprisings in the Ghettos and Concentration Camps. It also tells of people who risked their lives to help Jews and others that were wanted by the Nazis. I didn't know about these uprising until I visited this site.

This site is centered on concentration camps. It has a Layman's Guide that makes this site very easy to navigate. It provides you with a lot of information about the camps (of course), but seems to focus a lot on the medical experiments that were done on the prisoners. This site does not contain photos but does, however, provide you with testimonies of those who were officials at the camps. This is a very good site to visit if you are interested in concentration camps and the inhumane treatment of the people.

This Web site is about different concentration camps. In this site you can bring up maps and pictures of different concentration camps. In the maps you can click on different places and view pictures of those places. For example, if you were researching the Birkenau concentration camp, you could click on the picture of The Sauna, which is the area where prisoners that were chosen for slave labor were processed. In the pictures, you just pick a title and a picture appears with written factual information. If you want to learn about the different concentration camps this is a good place to do it.

This site is a photographic site with many pictures taken at the Auschwitz and Berkenau concentration camps. There are very small if any captions explaining the pictures. The pictures are not graphic at all. In fact, they were taken in the 90's so they don't even have people in them. This site contains very little written information on the Holocaust but the pictures speak for themselves. This site will help start you out if you are just getting into Holocaust study.

This a very graphic site. Most of the visuals are very stirring. The captions are relatively short, so if you don't like to read this is the perfect site for you. The pictures definitely speak for themselves. I think it is a good visual site. It contains many gruesome pictures including mass executions, piles of dead bodies, and pictures of experiments performed on Jews.

This site is about the Dehumanization Process. The process includes breaking in the Jews so that they are almost oblivious to their surroundings. The victims were forced to behave like beasts so that the Germans would have the impression that they enjoyed filth. The process was done mainly so the Nazis would lose feeling for the people they killed. The Nazis did not want the camp guards to have any emotional attachment or feelings for the prisoners. The vocabulary is easy to comprehend. Although there aren't any pictures, the site is very informative.

This website features stories about children who lived during the Holocaust. Each day a new child is featured. The day I visited the story was about Edzia Abbe, a girl whose family was living in the ghetto when they were forced to go to a concentration camp. Her older brother, Natan, was in town when he was shot by a Nazi and killed. She was sent to a concentration camp where she was eventually gassed and died. She was one of 1.5 million children to die under the evil hands of the Nazis. You can read about other children by clicking on "Meet other children of the Holocaust."

This is a very informational site that tells a lot about Anne Frank and her family. It has many photos as well. It tells about the people that she hid in the annex with, the annex that she hid in, and includes many passages from her diary. This individual site doesn't provide any background information about the Holocaust but is a very nice site for those interested in how the Holocaust affected one family.

This website is about a boy whose family is sent to the ghettos. It has facts about the filthy and unsterilized places that the Jewish people had to live in while they awaited their fate. They all knew that they would be sent to the gas chambers, burned alive, or tortured until death. They also knew that they would be buried in unmarked graves with the thousands of other prisoners that the "pure people" had killed. It is a really good website.

This is a website with an interactive map. You are able to click on different parts of the map and a brief summary about the area will appear. It includes cities, ghettos and concentration camps. If you are a picture person, this is not a good website to visit. Although I sometimes found the descriptions to be vague, I still found them educational. This site is easy to understand and it provides a lot of valuable information about the cities, ghettos, and concentration camps.

This website is about a young girl who was about eight years old when the Nazi occupation began. This story is about the agony and embarrassment that her family and friends had to go through because of their religious beliefs and practices. This site also tells about what Hitler's Gestapo agents did to the people who went to but never returned from the secret areas of the concentration camps. If you like factual text then this website is perfect for you.
