For Immediate Release
April 28, 2006
What can we learn from the horrific events
under Nazi tyranny during World War II?
HolocaustArchive.com, a free archive of 50,000 historical newspaper pages sponsored by NewspaperARCHIVE.com, contains detailed newspaper accounts about the bigotry, hatred and indifference that ruled under Nazi tyranny in World War II. From the ascension of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany in 1933 to the Nuremberg trials in 1945 - 1949, HolocaustArchive.com chronicles events in the history of the Holocaust through historic newspaper articles.
"Within the archive you will find horrific articles about the persecution of the Jews in Germany which accompanied Hitler's rise to power, reports on the deportation of Jewish peoples as well as articles about the massacres which occurred in Europe during Nazi control," explained Greg Hollingsworth, researcher for the archive.
The unique collection of newspapers in Holocaust Archive is searchable by key word and date with the use of Optical Character Recognition technology and Adobe Reader. For instance, if researchers are interested in articles on Auschwitz concentration camp, articles can be found by just searching for the word "Auschwitz."
The archive also includes timeline of the Holocaust told through newspaper accounts. For example, under 1933 an article in the Charleston Gazette explains Hitler's order for a nationwide boycott of Jewish businesses.
"Although the full extent of the genocide perpetrated during the Nazi era was not known until the end of the war, shocking stories about the detention of Jews, as well as the mass executions, were not absent in American newspapers during World War II," said Jeff Kiley, General Manager of NewspaperARCHIVE.com
HolocaustArchive.com is part of a series of free newspaper archives that include ThePearlHarborArchive.com, ImmigrationArchive.com, AIDSArchive.com,
GlobalWarmingArchive.com, KennedyAssassinationArchive.com,
AbrahamLincolnArchive.com, MartinLutherKingJrArchive.com along with several more.
Researchers interested in finding more information about the Holocaust can also go to NewspaperARCHIVE.com where there are 31.9 million newspaper pages online and a page added every two seconds. NewspaperARCHIVE.com, the largest newspaper database available online, is owned by Heritage Microfilm and began in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1999.
