Holocaust Sites

  April is Holocaust Remembrance Month

Note:  A report entitled "Digital Terrorism & Hate 2004" by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, details the rise of hate web sites.  "People need to realize how much hatred there is...and the extraordinary technological  advance of people who are spreading these lies."  It is now vitally important that students know how to recognize bias and how to critically evaluate the information they find online.                         6-04 eSchool News
