Building an online Holocaust Exhibition January 21, 2009
Posted by smartley in Uncategorized. add a commentAndy Lawrence, along with 24 others including me, is a Fellow from the 2007-8 Holocaust Education programme run by the Imperial War Museum. He has developed a resource using digitised versions of authentic primary sources – including letters, postcards, lists, photographs. Students can use this to discover what happened to various members of the Blechner family during the Holocaust. Having done their research, they can then select resources to create their own online exhibition.
Click to download a pdf of Teachers’ Notes giving information on the Blechners and how to use the Exhibition builder.

One lives in Sajaia refugee camp in Gaza and the other lives in Sderot, a small town near Gaza on the Israeli side. This blog is written by 2 real people living and communicating on both sides of the border.
Compare stories on both sides of the border through this website which has short videos of men, women and children in Gaza (Palestine) and Sderot (Israel): their lives and their survival on a daily basis. The videos were filmed from October – December 2008.
