Your responses follow:
*****************************************************
Have you tried Jerusalem One? It is reached by all the gophers in
the
world; then Middle East, then Jerusalem One and one of the references
includes the word Hate. It has much information.
*****************************************************
Although I am only aware of the Holocaust Museum
(http://www.ushmm.org/index.html), I would really appreciate your
sharing
the Holocaust list with me so that I can pass it on to our tenth
grade
English teacher who teaches a Holocaust unit.
Thanks!
******************************************************
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has an education
department and
their web site also has a great deal of information about teaching
materials. If you haven't tried them you can on the www. I don't
have
their address handy at the moment but they are easy to find in a
search. If
you need personal help you can write to bparson@ushmm.edu who is the
head of
the education department. His name is Bill Parsons and he will put
you in
touch with the people to talk with.
******************************************************
Try some of the sites that I've got listed on my Holocaust home page.
I
think you'll find them interesting. We teach this in eighth grade at
our
building.

*******************************************************
You may already have these sites that we identified last spring for
a
special bibliography we did on the Holocaust:
http://www.ushmm.org (US Holocaust Memorial Museum, may still be
under construction; history of the museum, visiting hours etc.)
http://www.yahoo.com/humanities/history/holocaust (access to a
Holocaust index, the Australia Genocide project, info. on
revisionists
etc.)
http://shamash.nysernet.org/trb/judaism.html (access to info. on
Jewish
culture, Project Genesis home page for exploring Jewish roots)
******************************************************
I have several students that are producing a CD-ROM on Ann Frank.
After
you receive all of this information would you polease E-Mail it to me.
You
might want to contact the Simon Whesintholl(sp) institute, they have
been
very helpful to us.
*******************************************************
In the September 1995 issue of Electronic Learning, there is an
article on
page 18 called "Confronting the Holocaust: Using gopher to research
and
discover the tragic past." I see from the "203" that you're a felow
Connecticut person, as is the author of the above article.
**********************************************************
Please find below some info on the Holocaust.
I hope it is what you are looking for.

Last Update: 4/12/93
Description:
The coverage of the list includes the Holocaust itself, and
closely
related topics like anti-semitism, and Jewish history in the
1930s
and 1940s, as well as closely related themes in the history of WW2,
Germany, and international diplomacy. HOLOCAUS actively solicits
syllabi, reading lists, termpaper guides, ideas on films an
slides, and tips and comments that will be of use to the teacher
who wants to add a single lecture, or an entire course. The tone
and target audience for this list is scholarly, and academic
standards and styles prevail.
**********************************************************
I'm interested in what you find in your search for holocaust sites. I
have
been collecting WWW sites and would like to add any relevant sites
you
might find. Please visit my Holocaust site and let me know what I'm
missing.

nb: SEE NOTE BELOW CONCERNING ANNE FRANK SITES -
actually, I was able to access two of them on my server:
The Anne Frank House (a short intro to the museum in Amsterdam)
http://www.channels.nl/annefran.html
and
Diary of a Young Girl book review (a very interesting analysis of the
diary)
http://mirror.wwa.com/mirror/Atlantis/millpop/95/annfrank.html
**********************************************************
Thanks to all who responded with Anne Frank sites. However, I was
not
successful in reaching any of them. FYI:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tdnguyen/Anne_Frank.html was
removed
from the site
http://www.channels.nl/annefran.html could not be located
http://mirror.wwa.com/mirror/atlantis/millpop/95/annfrank.html was
not
found on the server
The Dutch Anne Frank Foundation might have been useful, but it was
all in
Dutch.
Does anyone have anymore ideas?
Please respond directly to me at sjoneil@sinnfree.sinnfree.org
Thanks a lot!!!
************************************************************
The Memories project by Tom Holloway provides children access
to people who experienced WWII. While not exclusively a
Holocaust resource, it does provide a unique source of
information about it.

A friend sent me your recent inquiry about revising the
current ERIC Infoguide on the Holocaust K-12. It seems like a
big endeavor, but a growing and interesting one. Are you a
grad library science student?
I hope my info will help you. I am the facilitator of the
Holocaust/Genocide Project on I*EARN (International,
Education and Resource Network) on the Internet. Using
computers and modem, middle and high school age students in
Australia, Argentina, Germany, Poland, Russia, Israel,
Cambodia, and the USA are studying the Holocaust and other
genocides by telecommunicating with each other about
literature, history and current events. Our goal is to make
the world a more tolerant, peaceful place for all of us.
Teachers on this project have contributed to our wonderful
Holocaust/Genocide Project Gopher. It has an annotated
bibliography, which is accessible to all on the Internet.
The URL is: gopher://gopher.igc.apc.org:7009/1
Australian students on our project have constructed a Web
page. The URL is:
http://www.peg.apc.org/~iearn/hgpproject.html
With the help of David Dickerson, whom I am copying on this
message, along with our project's mentor, Gideon Goldstein,
we are also in the process of constructing an HGP WWW home
page here in the US and should have it up and going soon.
We'd like to give you that info too.
Please write with any questions you may have. Do you want
info about our annual, two-week study trip to Poland/Israel?
Students also produce an annual global magazine, AN END TO
INTOLERANCE, which can be found in the Resource Center of the
USHMM in DC. Thanks for your interest in updating Holocaust
educational sources for all of us. When can we see your
completed list?
