Britannica's Reflections Focuses on Holocaust Events
Events surrounding the Holocaust are the focus of Encyclopaedia Britannica's Reflections. This new feature covers everything from the origins of the Holocaust in the mind of Adolf Hitler to the legacy of the horror in art and memory.
Consisting of five parts, users will find extensive photographs and videos (some graphic), an extended bibliography and discussion questions tied to each of the five parts and written especially for teachers and classroom use. Included is an overview article by Britannica's Holocaust adviser, Dr. Michael Berenbaum, the former director of the Holocaust Research Institute at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, former president of the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation and author of The World Must Know and Witness to the Holocaust, among other books.
Available for public, K-12 and academic libraries, this is a valuable resource that examines a significant episode in world history.
