Frontline: A Jew Among the Germans
For years, Marian Marzynski lived
with a fear of the people who had invaded his country and wiped
out his family. When the German government announced it was
planning a memorial on the Holocaust, he decided that it was
time to visit “the land of the enemy” and to find out – how does
a new generation of Germans live with the crimes of the past?

Most people know Dr. Seuss as the man behind "The
Cat in the Hat". But how many know that "Yertle the Turtle" was
modeled after Hitler - or that Dr. Seuss created WWII political
cartoons that denounced racism, isolationism, and other issues
of the day? THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS reveals how popular
children's author Theodore Geisel advocated social change,
teaching generations of children not only how to be better
readers, but better people as well.
War Ships Associated with WW II in the Pacific
This web site is a published theme study prepared for the U.S.
Congress and the National Park System Advisory Board. It was
written to evaluate surviving World War II warships that saw
action in the Pacific against Japan to see if they would qualify
for designation as National Historic Landmarks. Twenty-five of
the warships were found to be likely to meet the criteria. The
web site has a side bar with the various classifications of
warships. You can click on them to read about the specific
warships and also see pictures of them.

The “World War II Military Situation Maps”
contains maps showing troop positions beginning on June 6, 1944
to July 26, 1945. Starting with the D-Day Invasion, the maps
give daily details on the military campaigns in Western Europe,
showing the progress of the Allied Forces as they push towards
Germany. Some of the sheets are accompanied by a declassified
"G-3 Report" giving detailed information on troop positions for
the period 3 Mar. 1945-26 July 1945. These maps and reports were
used by the commanders of the United States forces in their
evaluation of the campaigns and for planning future strategies.
The collection
consists of 416 printed maps and 115 reports, the originals of
which reside in the Library of Congress' Geography and Map
Division.
