The World Memory Project provides a great opportunity to teach middle and high school students something about databases using primary source materials from the Shoah. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum has digitized a lot of documents relating to individuals during the Holocaust. Using software developed by Ancestry.com, students can key in the information from the documents into a searchable database. I think it's a great opportunity to incorporate instruction about databases with Jewish content that uses primary source materials and also makes a real contribution to expanding the database.
