Just checked out the website and it is everything he said it would be and more! It is so easy to navigate and has so much great information. It has a very cool feature were all you have to do is roll over a painting and it gives you a brief overview. Then when you click on the painting it provides background, narratives and a pdf version of the painting. So wonderful!

What a powerful website, I can certainly use this is my art classes. The phenomena of justifying this despicable act, killing so many people in such a painful manner, is clearly a way of avoiding responsibility. It reminds me of the conflicts in contemporary German society, the generational opinions that change with time. The children of the soldiers who condemn their parents, the grandchildren who accept the grandparents because of the passage of time and loss of memory.

I appreciate you posting a link to this website. I have written it down many times in my notes, but now I have a link to it and I have checked it out. I can't wait for school to end so I can spend my time searching through every thing the website has to offer. My favorite part so far has been the pictures. How interesting to see history from the two points of view. Thank you for the link.

Wow. This is a really good website. I went through the illustrative narrative, "Ground Zero 1945". It is a really good depiction of a child experience of the dropping of the bomb. The images may be too graphic for middle school children, but maybe that is something you could show the students with parental permission.
Thanks for posting this web site.

This is a truly awesome website. This website is artistically pleasing to the eyes. I like the way it is organized and I love the art pieces. The best thing about it is that it is loaded with useful information I could use in the class. My students could definitely use this website to do research. It is also extremely easy to navigate. Kudos! Thanks so much for sharing.

This is a cool website. I will be using this as one of my resources for my lesson plan. I am going to have my students research Samurai's. I will be sending this website link to some of the Social Studies Teachers at my school. Good stuff.

What a great resource will definitely incorporate this into my classroom. Love the opportunity to incorporate art and analysis of imagery into lessons. Think the paintings are a great way to link students ability in see/seek deeper meaning in the images presented. A great bridge between facts and critical thinking.
