The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has done a fine job of providing online materials and exhibitions about various genocides throughout history, and this latest offering provides a sobering and honest look at such a situation in the eastern Congo. This highly interactive site draws on the impressions and contributions of four people who visited the region in 2003 and 2004. These people include a number of journalists and activists, including Angelina Jolie and John Prendergast. Visitors can proceed through an outstanding virtual journal, which contains numerous photographs from the region, audio narration, and a number of collages. Along with this visually and aurally arresting material, the site also contains a link to a new report on the current situation in the Congo from the International Rescue Committee.
