| HOLOCAUST LINKS |
|
|
|
|
| In order to increase understanding of the Holocaust, and to encourage further education about the event, holocaustchronicle.org has established links to approximately 66 Holocaust-related Web sites. Each site has been carefully examined and evaluated by the staff and administrators of holocaustchronicle.org. The sites to which we have established links have been, for a variety of reasons, deemed superior. Some of the sites are broad; others sharply focused. All, we feel, are useful.
The Links homepage displays a list of Web links, arranged by type (see categories listed below). Below each URL are brief descriptive/evaluative remarks about the site that have been prepared by the staff and administrators of holocaustchronicle.org, followed by an abridgement of the link's own summation of its content.
More links will be added as time goes by, so please check back often to holocaustchronicle.org.
