Using the Website

Getting Around

The Music and the Holocaust website contains a large number of articles, which are organised by category and theme. You can use these to navigate to particular articles, or use the 'Learn More' boxes or 'Related Articles' sections to find the overview, place, person or music articles that interest you. The website contains several 'landing pages' which are grouped by theme, person, place or music. Each landing page provides an introduction to its respective section of the site and features a 'Related Articles' section at the bottom.  This section displays a selection of links to articles related to the theme or category of the landing page.  Due to the large number of articles on the site, not all articles may be displayed here, so if you are looking for something specific, please use the site map or the search function.

The places landing page allows you to select camp and ghetto articles via a map.

When you finally navigate to an article there will be context links within the text and selected links in the learn more box on the right.

Listening to Music

Music During the Holocaust running in a browser uses an embedded Windows Media Player control to play chunks of streamed audio from the server. In order to hear music you must ensure that Windows Media Player is installed and that your browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, Firefox etc.) is allowed to load and run it. You will see the player controls if this is set up correctly.

All music on the website is streamed to your computer using the mms protocol. mms can use different ports to stream audio which may be blocked in certain locations (e.g. at work). Where there is one piece of music in an article it will start to play automatically when you navigate to that article. If the music doesn't start to play then it is likely that your browsers cannot locate the media server or that streaming is blocked.

All music is copyright of the respective owners and licenses.
