Last week I posted a message citing 9 Holocaust Internet sites not realizing that one of them (Auschwitz: Myths and Facts http://www.kaiwan.com/~ihrgreg/pamphlets/auschwitz.html) was the work of Greg Raven, a Holocaust denier/revisionist. I apologize for including this site in the list. However, there is a lesson to be learned here. This site was found by one of my 8th graders last spring. We used it as an example of the hate literature and Holocaust denial/revisionist literature that one can find when surfing the Web for information. It is so important that we help our students become critical analysts of materials they find when researching (not necessarily just on the Internet). So thanks and apologies to BACKON who alerted me about this site (I had forgotten what it was since last spring), but hope you can all use this to remind your students and staff to always check the origin of material found.
