While browsing the other sites nominated for Webbys, I came across this site from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: Silent Witness: The Story of Lola Rein and her Dress. It's based around a dress donated to the museum by a Jewish lady, Lola Kaufman, nee Rein. Lola's mother had made and embroidered the dress for her when she was an eight-year old girl living with her family in Poland. She ended up wearing it for seven months whilst hiding from the Nazis in a 4x6 ft hole with three other Jews.
There is so much detail here - the story of one family's experience of Nazi persecution, their love for each other and their determination that at least some of them would survive. It's both horrifying and incredibly moving.
