Harnessing the Internet in Holocaust search

Zvi Schwartzman who specializes in Internet technologies has been working with the Tel- Aviv based Engineering College on a project that students are trying to find lost relatives of Holocaust survivors by blogs on the Google search engine.

The students will publish details about the survivors in the net in blogs and Google will automatically match between the details to the same topics of interest.

The students will make an interview with the survivor and write his details on the clog. The students will learn easily how the Google search engine is working. The student that is in charge of the clog will be able to get new messages when there is a new connection.

Schwartzman asked the Education Ministry to make the project part of the study program so that the number of blogs can increase. It is important because today pupils are not involved enough with the Holocaust.
