  23. http://pubweb.northwestern.edu/~abutz/di/intro.htmlA short introduction to the study of Holocaust revisionism,by Arthur R. Butz.I see three principal reasons for the widespread but erroneous belief in the legend of millions of Jews killed by the Germans during World War II: US and British troops found horrible piles of corpses in the west German camps they captured in 1945 ..., there are no longer large communities of Jews in Poland, and historians generally support the legend. During both world wars Germany was forced to fight typhus, carried by lice ... That is why all accounts of entry into the German concentration camps speak of shaving of hair and showering and other delousing procedures, such as treatment of quarters with the pesticide Zyklon. That was also the main reason for a high death rate in the camps, and the crematoria ...Article published in the Daily Northwestern of May 13, 1991, corrected May 14.

  24. What can the URL tell me? http://pubweb.northwestern.edu/~abutz/di/intro.html This is a personal page – how can you tell? • “Pubweb” • Also look for: % signs, “users”, “members”, or “people”. • Personal Web pages created by using Tripod, Geocities, or Angel Fire, or other ISPs (ex: aol.com) • A tilde ~ symbol indicates a personal web (of abutz) • What else can we tell? • Northwestern Univ. owns the domain name “nwu.edu” • .edu indicates it is a college

  25. Who links to the site?

  26. Who Owns the Domain? http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois

  28. 7. Provide ongoing and independent assessment of research process Students submit references prior to paper • Teach how to PrintScreen • Collect and grade research attempts in the same manner as preliminary notes Students submit papers to Turnitin.com Teachers spot check references
