History Unfolded

A project of Deerfield High School, Deerfield, IL

History Unfolded is originally a project created by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for the 2018 exhibit, Americans and the Holocaust, and we do not take credit for the creation of this title or the idea of researching historical newspapers.  Our work on Rwanda is our own.

LEARN. COMMEMORATE.  EDUCATE.
