This blog was created in 2005 to allow students at Cold Spring Harbor High School in Long Island, New York and at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek, Michigan to share their reflections upon reading the autobiographical memoir Night by Elie Wiesel. A new round of blogging continues in the 2009 school year. Students throughout the United States and from other nations are invited to post comments.

Hello and welcome! I'm so glad to be a part of this project as the moderator and librarian at Lakeview High School. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions related to resources or offer your suggestions for the blog. You've mentioned some really fine books that are also part of our Holocaust collection. I will just add one title that I have recently read and found especially moving: I will plant you a lilac tree: a memoir of a Schindler's list survivor by Laura Hillman. To answer Cody's question about material on Mengele, our LHS library has a copy of Mengele: the complete story by Gerald L. Posner (McGraw Hill, 1986). The local public library has Children of the flames: Dr. Josef Mengele and the untold story of the twins of Auschwitz by Lucette Matalon Lagnado.

Dorian,
Thank you for your comments and for speaking up about the importance of connecting the study of the Holocaust to other acts of genocide occurring in our own day. You probably know that the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is very committed to promoting awareness of such atrocities and has an entire division (The Committee on Conscience) that monitors troubled situations throughout the world. The main page of the USHMM Website http://www.ushmm.org offers information about events at the Museum but also links to news about
Darfur.
