The website I chose to use as my post for our Blog this week is http://www.holocaustchronicle.org/ . It is a website from Publishers International Ltd. which I did some research on them and they are better know for children's books so I do not get the connection. The website is actually constructed from the pages of the book "The Holocaust Chronicle" you can actually read the whole book on the website. You can start at the beginning or look up the index and pick a chapter that sounds of interest. If there is a particular page you know you want to read you can just put the page number in and there it will be. The website recommends other readings, tells you who to credit for writing the book. There were a couple of things I tried to go to for instance special features and it tells me lessons plans will be poste
d shortly. I cannot tell when the actual site was last updated. I did go out to Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com to see if the book really did exist. Interesting on Amazon it was roughly $47 and on Barnes & Noble under $20. I thought that was a big difference in the price. The site has a lot of pictures but you have to go through the pages of the book to see them. This one here is of an inhabitant women who worked in the Warsaw Ghetto. The arm band represents she was an administrative employee, she would receive special treatment for example more food. After reading the article "Holocaust Memorials" I decided I really did not remember a lot of detail of what happened to all those thousands and thousands of people. The website made me remember some more but I am sure the museum will really be a wonderful experience.

After visiting the Holocaust Museum I was left in a mind of wonder. I cannot imagine what it was like for the victims it was hard to just see the sites or spaces that they had to live in. The violence and the hate of another human being I cannot fathom. I will not say I enjoyed the museum but I am glad I did not miss it. Learning about the past is a great knowledge of how to not make the same mistakes going forward.
