Website Spotlight: America and the Holocaust

Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/holocaust/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

Transcripts of interviews with four program participants.

Incredibly useful collection of primary source documents

II. Special Features

Kurt Klein's Story: selected letters

III. Timeline

Timeline of America's reaction to the Holocaust

IV. Maps

This interactive section is terrific. Don't miss it.

V. People & Events

Be sure to read the sketches of Rabbi Stephen Wise, Henry Morgenthau, and Charles Coughlin.

VI. Teacher's Guide

Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.
