Night, by Elie Wiesel
Take Action Against Indifference Project:
If you could have alerted the world to the Nazi violations of human rights and atrocities using the Internet from 1933 to 1945, what would your web site look like? (The totalitarian regime of China controls all communication media today as the Nazis did from 1933 to 1945.  However today the Internet is too difficult to totally control so that uncensored information can get through to and from China.)
