Something to Remember |
 The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/flight_rescue, offers up a first-class pass to travel through the history of the Holocaust. Click on Journey of Survival to experience the extraordinary stories of 2,100 Jewish refugees. The multimedia presentation tells the tale of the invasion of Poland and how some managed to escape from Nazi and communist forces. Sadly, the Holocaust is not the only occurrence of its kind. Visit Refugees Today to learn about how many are denied simple human rights at home. |

Muckin' Around |
 Roam around the village of West Mucking, www.pastexplorers.org.uk/village, and learn all about the Anglo-Saxon way of life. Mouse around the page to highlight different areas in the village. See how the villagers built their houses and discover the crowded conditions in their humble homes. Visit the farm fields to dig up info on food the villagers grew and the animals they raised. Then, head over to the river where clothes were washed and fish were caught. After a hard day of work, meals were cooked in clay pots before people turned in for the night. |
