There is an enormous amount of information on the internet covering the horrific events of the Holocaust. As a help to researchers and the general public we have catalogued below those sites which we feel are essential reading if you wish to obtain a complete picture of the Holocaust (and human rights issues). We do not claim that the list is exhaustive; this is merely our choice. If you consider that we have not included a site which should be listed, then please write to us via our Contact us page.
