Google Teams Up With Museum to Put Holocaust Photos Online

Posted in: Google, Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili

Google this week announced that it has joined forces with Israel’s Yad Vashem Museum to host photos and other Holocaust documents–130,000 in all, making it the largest online collection of such information.

“For some time, Google has been working to bring the world’s historical and cultural heritage online,” said Yossi Matias, the director of Google Israel’s R&D team. “The Internet offers a great opportunity to preserve and share important materials stored in archives.”
The news comes ahead of January 27th’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day, held on the anniversary of 1945’s liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
