Children are the most important people in the world.  It is vital that they learn early about tolerance and the dangers of hate, racism, and prejudice.  One way to teach these things is to provide kids with basic introductory information about cultural diversity, civil rights, and the Holocaust.

This interactive web site is designed for use in a classroom or with parental assistance.  It is appropriate for ages 8 and up.  This site focuses on the events of the Holocaust because it is one of the most extreme and well-documented examples of hatred and intolerance.  The site will be updated periodically to teach children valuable insights about Holocaust awareness and diversity training.

Until now, the subjects of tolerance, diversity, civil rights, and the Holocaust have only been taught to middle or high school students and adults.  However, the younger generations deserve to know more about these important topics, too.

Kids are using computers more and more every year, and they also have different kinds of pressures that previous generations never did.  This web site is dedicated to showing kids how they can stop the hate and make a difference in our world.
