Sources and Further Reading

The pages on this site draw on a wide range of primary sources, institutional archives, and scholarly resources. The most important of those sources are cited at the foot of each page. The resources listed in this section are the ones we have returned to most often, and the ones most likely to be useful if you want to go further into a particular person, event, or document than any single page here can take you.

They cover different kinds of material. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem are the two principal institutional archives, each holding millions of documents, photographs, and testimonies and making substantial portions of their collections available online. The Avalon Project at Yale and the Eichmann Trial Transcripts provide access to the primary legal record: the Nuremberg documents and the Jerusalem testimony in full. The Nizkor Project is the most comprehensive online resource for Holocaust denial rebuttal, with the primary documents needed to answer the standard denial claims. The Internet Archive holds out-of-print books and historical web material that would otherwise be inaccessible. Hansard is the essential resource for anyone tracing the British parliamentary response to the Holocaust, from the Eden statement of December 1942 through the postwar trials debates.

Each resource has its own page with a description of what it holds and how to use it.
