Judges Comments:

I think it makes good use of animation and multimedia to present the history of the holocaust in Croatia, tying in objects from the museum collection alongside personal histories.

Beautifully designed with multimedia, text, graphics, animation, and images delicately interlaced. This online exhibition interprets collection objects simultaneously through both world history and individuals. Overall it is an excellent use of the web's capabilities.
