A Dedication From The H.E.A.R.T

It was once said that not remembering the Holocaust means to side with the executioners against its victims; not to remember means to kill the victims a second time; not to remember means to become an accomplice of the enemy. On the other hand, to remember means to feel compassion for the victims of all persecutions.

By solemnly commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust, we will keep history in mind, never forget the past, cherish all lives, and create a better future.

Millions of souls were lost during the years of Nazi tyranny, and their passing has made the world a poorer place.

Many say "Never Again" while shrugging off the memory of the starving, the sick, and the dead. Those images in black and white that have somehow made it all seem so distant, almost surreal, and suggestive of some fantasy rather than harsh reality. Some have even questioned if any of it ever even happened at all.

But the Holocaust did happen, and this is one reality that cannot be denied.

We seek to bring that reality to the forefront of the minds of all who seek the truth. So they too can commemorate the victims. So they too can learn to recognize tyranny. So they too can build a future where such atrocities are not everyday occurrences, but exist only as a historical record on sites like this one. - H.E.A.R.T

"In politics there's absolutely nothing new. Again, out of impatience I feel myself beginning to fall into melancholy... There is really no way out of this for us." -Dawid Sierakowiak

WHO WE ARE

The Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team was founded by Carmelo Lisciotto and Chris Webb on October 8th, 2006.

The aim of H.E.A.R.T is to inform and educate people about the Holocaust and the extermination programs conducted by the Nazi regime throughout Europe during the Second World War.

H.E.A.R.T research and material is contributed from a group of independent Holocaust researchers who devote their spare time to research for the production of this website and other forms of related publications, such as leaflets and books.

H.E.A.R.T is run by its trustees and directors, who manage the daily administration of the website, review all research materials, fact checking, and addressing any required corrections.

Most materials presented on the H.E.A.R.T website originate in Poland, Germany, the former Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom as well as from private sources in the USA and other countries.

H.E.A.R.T currently accepts no new membership however we do maintain affiliations with educational institutions and private associations that contribute articles, photos, rare documents, etc.

Contributed text and pages will appear on the website as a "Guest Publication" with the author maintaining full copyright to the submitted text however page design and layout is owned by © H.E.A.R.T.

All other material presented on this website is subject to H.E.A.R.T copyright however all pages may be used “Freely” providing the source is credited as the following:

OUR MISSION

Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team

Our Mission

Today there are many resources available for those wishing to learn more of what the world has come to know as “The Holocaust” - the planned extermination of entire ethnic, religious, political, and other groups by the government of a sovereign state, Germany, and her allies during the years 1933 -1945.

Memorials, museums, and sufficient books to fill entire libraries are devoted to the subject. But the advent of the internet has created a new, globally accessible source of information on the Holocaust. Some of this information is valuable, often unique. Much of it, poorly researched and sourced, is not. The hateful writings emanating from the twisted minds of those who would deny the reality of what is irrefutable are much worse.

We believe that despite this multitude of available resources, there remains a wealth of detail to be made available. And so we have created these pages in the hope that our efforts will throw further light on what was perhaps the darkest period in human history. Since every project of the kind we have in mind must have considered objectives, this is what we will do – and what we will not:

*

We will provide factual details based upon authenticated sources, which will be duly acknowledged. However, these pages are not intended for the professional historian (whose research we often rely upon), but rather for the general student. References to published works and other sources will therefore be kept to a minimum in order to facilitate navigation of the website.

*

We are dedicated to commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. Since the great majority of those victims were Jewish, the texts will reflect this fact.

*

We will use every resource at our disposal in order to create an appropriate memorial to the victims and their families. We will not forget.

*

We will add pages relevant to our subject matter over time. For now and in the immediate future, the website should be regarded as a work in progress. All pages will bear the initials of the principal authors of the relevant text.

*

We will not engage in debate or dispute. We are not a forum, nor do we wish to become involved in controversy. We will respond, efficiently and in detail, to any reasonable correspondence addressed to our secretary

*

We will welcome suitable texts or artefacts from anybody wishing to contribute to the website. However, we reserve the right to decide on whether or not to publish such material. We will not publish anything which is scurrilous or defamatory.

It is our hope that our website will become a reference work for all those who wish to explore the many complexities of this subject further, as well as a repository of the archival material we have sourced.
