I am not sure whether the "discussion" category is the best place for this, but I want to list this website:

I am currently taking the online course offered through Yad Vashem “Life Lessons – Bringing Holocaust History to Your Classroom.” Coursework has given me a chance to become better acquainted with the extremely valuable resources found on the Yad Vashem Website. In particular, I would mention the following:

• Back issues of the Yad Vashem Quarterly Magazine
• Video recordings of keynote speakers from the 2006 International Conference on Holocaust Education.
• Video recordings of keynote speakers from the 2008 International Conference on Holocaust Education
• Lesson plans
• Holocaust Resource Center offers in-depth information searchable by topic and grouped by material type such as art, poetry, song, testimonies, diaries, and letters.
• Concise Encyclopedia of the Holocaust provides additional background on key topics with links to artifacts, documents, lexicon entries, photographs, research and testimonies.

GiGi,
Thanks for this information. I am interested in your online course through Yad Vashem. Is there a fee for the course? When is it offered? Sounds very good.

[GLincoln]

Hi Dana,

I have been very pleased with the course content and management. A complete listing of all online courses offered by Yad Vashem is available along with an FAQ page. The registration fee was $100.00 for this 6-month course.

And the following sites, a lot about the Holocaust for Hungarian Jews, but also beyond:

Every tenth victim of the Holocaust and every third victim of the largest Nazi extermination camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, was a Hungarian Jew.

Thank you, Pier. These sites provide a wealth of information. The National Committee for Attending Deportees (DEGOB) at http://degob.org/index.php is especially valuable with more testimonies being translated into English.

Thanks Gigi. I am glad that website testimonies are slowly being translated into English!

A friend who works at the Holocaust Museum in Budapest actually corrected the website that I listed.
The new website for the Budapest Holocaust Museum is:

My friend from the Budapest Holocaust Museum told me that that link was an old link.
The newer link to it is:
