We hope that the following  links, grouped by category,  will be useful to students and educators in their quest to study and learn more about the Holocaust.

There are 2 very special links to “Teacher’s Guides” for Four Perfect Pebbles, down-loadable for use. Heartfelt thanks to both Laura Friedman Patton, a teacher in the Shawnee Mission School district in Kansas, and to Jan Brennan, a teacher at the Avon Middle School in Connecticut for developing, writing and constructing these teacher’s guides.

In 1941, Greece fell to the Axis threat and between the Germans and their allies, Italians and Bulgarians, the country was divided into three zones of occupation. Thessaloniki under the Nazis, with its community of some 49,000 Jews, was ill prepared for the horrors of the "Final Solution". By the end of 1945, only a handful of Jews remained; 96.5% of the Jewish Community of the city was exterminated in the death camps of Poland.

North Carolina Council on the Holocaust
Through its education programs and annual commemorations, the Council strives to help prevent atrocities similar to the systematic program of mass murder by the Nazis of six million Jews and others, including gypsies (Roma), homosexuals, handicapped persons, and religious and political dissidents, from 1933 to 1945.
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is America’s national institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history, and serves as this country’s memorial to the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims – six million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny. The Museum’s primary mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy; to preserve the memory of those who suffered; and to encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust as well as their own responsibilities as citizens of a democracy.
Yad v`Shem Holocaust Museum, Jerusalem, Israel
Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, is the Jewish people’s memorial to the murdered Six Million and symbolizes the ongoing confrontation with the rupture engendered by the Holocaust. Containing the world’s largest repository of information on the Holocaust, Yad Vashem is a leader in Shoah (Holocaust) education, commemoration, research and documentation.

Oskar Schindler - A Righteous Christian
To more than 1200 Jews Oscar Schindler was all that stood between them and death at the hands of the Nazis. A man full of flaws like the rest of us - the unlikeliest of all role models who started by earning millions as a war profiteer and ended by spending his last pfennig and risking his life to save his Jews. An ordinary man who even in the worst of circumstances did extraordinary things, matched by no one. He remained true to his Jews, the workers he referred to as my children. In the shadow of Auschwitz he kept the SS out and everyone alive.
