Yad Vashem and Google have performed a valuable service in making an archive of 138,000 holocaust photos available online. This is a memory that should be preserved and shared, so that people never forget. But do not send young people to this archive without guidance and discussion. The archive contains horrible horrible gruesome stuff. I reviewed if for as long as I was able, which wasn't very long. But the existence of the archive is necessary, and the lesson it teaches, stark and unforgettable.
