- Auschwitz Alphabet. Jonathan Blumen wrote an Auschwitz Alphabet as the result of many years of reading about the Holocaust, and about the Auschwitz death camp in particular. His introduction to the material, as an adult, was Primo Levi's The Drowned and the Saved, which he has made liberal use of here. Levi, to whom this Alphabet is dedicated, emerged from Auschwitz still a gentle man, with a sense of humor and with strong compassion. He is your best guide to these horrors.
- Business and the Holocaust.
- Children of the Holocaust
- Concentration Camps
- Cybrary of the Holocaust. The Cybrary of the Holocaust is part of a two year project to create educational materials.

- Literature of the Holocaust. Al Filreis is an English professor at Pennsylvania State University. One of the classes that he teaches is "English 293: The Literature of the Holocaust," and a few years ago he created a companion Web page for his course. Filreis' page is one of the most exhaustive online sources for Holocaust literature anywhere. From survivor testimonies to photographs of Auschwitz, Filreis' page contains enough information to keep serious scholars busy for weeks and to give merely curious an opportunity to learn more about the Holocaust outside of the movie theater and TV screens.

- Rescuers During the Holocaust. The Holocaust is a history of overwhelming horror and enduring sorrow. Sometimes it seems as though there is no spark of human concern or kindness, no act of humanity, to lighten that dark history. Yet there were acts of courage and kindness during the Holocaust which can offer us some hope for our past and for our future. Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem, has honoured more than 11,000 rescuers (Fogelman, 1994), and many more cases await their consideration. This bibliography lists works in English which discuss the lives and actions of rescuers during the Holocaust.
- Teaching the Holocaust through stamps
- "Those Who Do Not Remember the Past"
- United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In 1978 President Carter established a Commission to study the appropriateness and feasibility of creating an American national memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. Chaired by Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, the Commission recommended the creation of a "living memorial museum". The Commission's report to the President led to the unanimous passage of Congressional legislation in October 1980 (Public Law 96-388). This legislation created the United States Holocaust Memorial Council and mandated it to sponsor nationwide Holocaust commemorations and educational programs and to raise private funds for and build the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
