REVIEW:
Life After the Holocaust is a rich resource for anyone wanting to learn more about this horrific event and the effects it had on the survivors. The site is organized into six themes: Living with the Past, Faith and Guilt, Arriving in New York, Telling Their Children, Starting Over and Speaking Out. Each theme features interviews with survivors and narratives that explain the context of the experiences. Visitors can listen to the entire narrative of each survivor as well as view personal photographs by clicking on the name in the survivors menu. Also available are transcripts of the interviews and an opportunity for visitors to reflect on Why is it important to study the Holocaust?
