1. I need specific research materials, can you send them to me?
We cannot address individual requests; I’ll try to point you in the right direction, but if you cannot find what you need here, the best advice is to search our site.
Share a description of what you’re looking for and contact us.
We have a wealth of materials onlne. Navigating
is simple; we have split the site into just a few different sections.
If you are looking for photos, try the Images section:
If you are looking for images from The Camps, try Alan Jacobs’ section:
Virtual Tour of Auschwitz:
https://remember.org/auschwitz/
If you are looking for research information, we have:
These are our Education and Teacher’s Guide.
If you would like to read Student’s Work online, visit the Imagine Art Gallery (we also accept submissions):
https://remember.org/imagine/
If you are looking for eyewitness testimonies from survivors and liberators, visit our Witnesses page:
Finally, if you would like to hear an audio interview with a survivor, visit Harold Gordon’s page:
We have RealAudio clips of him speaking.
2. I’m looking for information about relatives, where do I go?
There are a number of offline resources listed at:
https://remember.org/children/children.html
One good one is:
The Holocaust Global Registry:
https://www.jewishgen.org/registry/
You can also search The Brest Ghetto Passport Archive, A Searchable Database:
3. You need more pictures and information about this subject.
The Cybrary grows from contributions; we are limited in our access to content and funding, but if you know some good resources or would like to contribute, please contact Remember.org. We encourage submissions, especially from students, teachers, and others interested in sharing knowledge. Images and photos are particularly needed. If you know a good link, let us know as well so we can share it.
4. How can I use the Internet to help my classes?
Remember.org offers space for classes to conduct research and post materials. This cyte has offered space to teachers and students for years. One example is Joseph Korn, who put his father’s book at Remember.org and talks to local schools about it. Joey’s site is at:
Abe’s Story, the story of his father. It is an excellent example of learning about the Holocaust through online lesson plans, email, and even having Joey visit schools in his area to help teachers.
5. Who “owns” Remember.org? Where do you get your funding?
In a way we all do; all people who donate their content retain their rights to it (so if you want to borrow something, look for an email on the page and ask the owner). Remember.org is not really owned. I started this as a graduate school project back in 1993, and it evolved into its current form by allowing visitors to post materials.
At this site, the audience are the publishers, and I act as the editor. My company donates its time, money, and services to keep this site alive.
To our visitors, there is no charge. But any help will be directed towards bringing more content online, and helping out organizations who want to share educational materials.
6. What do these words mean:
Remember. Zachor.
Pamiętać . помнить (póm-nit’).
Dikh He Na Bister. Sich erinnern.
They mean, in a loose translation, to remember (Pamiętać in Polish, and Sich erinnern in German.)
Zachor (Hebrew) and Dikh He Na Bister (Roma) are more statements, like Remember!
The Russian version I’m not sure about in terms of how it’s spoken.
Whatever it is, it’s the name this site is based on…Remember.org.
We appreciate you visiting.
