Son of man, keep not silent, forget not deeds of tyranny. - - - Yehuda L. Bialer (reference to the Holocaust)

A "Think Quest" made by students, and an excellent production. Notice the Multimedia Glossary which links to a page with a statement about how the Holocaust has changed our vocabulary followed by the terms/definitions. Icons that link to sound files for pronunciation and graphics provide additional information. Students also describe "How we did what we did and how you can learn more" and supply some interactive quizzes on Holocaust knowledge. Notice that moving your your cursor over the menu items generates a grapic thumbnail that disappears when you move to the next item (I think you will need a browser equiped with Javascript to see it....). These kids are riding the crest of the new Web technology and are very serious about the interface and content. Here is a quote from their "about this site" link: The References and Credits link provides some more information (students = Site produced by Jordan Feil, Mike Dale, Kushal Dave) and one of the best overall bibliography I have seen online. Simply a must visit for all with interactive surprise behind each link! Also on the topic from the ThinkQuest contest -- The Holocaust: Humanity's Darkest Hour and A Human Tragedy: Genocide in World War II. Following the Nazi invasion of Austria in 1938, a Viennese dentist named Desider Furst, his wife, and daughter found themselves fugitives, holders of German passports branded with a red "J" for Jew. Now, nearly sixty years later, the daughter tells their story in counterpoint, alternating chapters of her father's memoir with her own recollections. In this edited interview aired on Soundings, the National Humanities Center's weekly radio show, Wayne Pond talks with Lilian Furst about her book, Home Is Somewhere Else: An Autobiography in Two Voices (State University of New York Press, 1994).
