also contains information on music, rescuers, camps, children and many other
topics. Primary Sources: The Art of the Nazis and the

Valuable

widely know as the Centre for ‘Hunting down Nazis', this
site reveals the other strand to the work of the centre,
that is, work leading towards tolerance and combating
the use of Nazism as a comparison with Israeli behaviour. |
