This website was helpful to my group because it had a lot of information that seemed to be accurate and helpful. It had all of the important dates and interesting maps and pictures. The only negative asset of the website was that it was some what confusing and difficult to understand. Another good thing about the website was that it was the Holocausts museum so it's assumed to be a reliable source.

This website was helpful because it had good information and was easy to understand. It was organized and came from a World War Two database. A negative about this website is that it was hard to determine if it was a reliable source or not, therefor it wasn't strongly used in our wiki.
