Holocaust Pictures Exhibition

Stuff about the Holocaust can be found on the gopher site at Nysernet in New York. Particularly, two files contain comments on 37 pictures stored in a subdirectory. Daniel Keren ([email protected]) scanned the pictures and wrote the comments. Unfortunately, a gopher site is not user-friendly when there is a relationship between different kind of datas (texts and pictures in this case). That is the reason why I downloaded the files to our http site and I created the 37 posters of this exhibition. Each poster contains one picture, a comment on it and the source. I modified some comments. I also translated the texts into French for French-speaking visitors. For the convenience of all visitors, I reduced the size of the pictures (I filtered them and sometimes I reduced the width and the height). During the visit, you can get the original picture by clicking on the poster picture (even if it is not visible on the posters, details are lost during the filtering process; if you want to enlarge or to print a picture, load the original one to get better results). For the convenience of Netscape users, I converted the pictures to interlaced-gif format. Fran?ois Schmitz
