In a move of relative genius, the St.
Louis Maccabi team created the
www.tritondigitaLcom web site to
chronicle its experience during the
JCC Maccabi Games.
Using a digital camera, represen-
tatives of the St. Louis delegation
visited eight different sports
during the week of
Aug. 16-23. It also for to
the opening ceremony and the
barbeque at Maybury State
Vark, where St. Louis was
proud to boast that boys bas-
ketball coach Barry Wallis won the
pie-eating contest and had great
close-up photos to prove it.
The photographs and coach's
reports were up-loaded to the web-
site so friends and family that didn't
make the trip could check out the
progress of the team.
The sports that weren't repre-
sented by action shots at least had
coaches reports and all sports had
photos of the coaches. Some of the
photographs came out quite well,
although it was very difficult to
make out the kids faces in the bas-
ketball photos.
The idea was a good
one, despite some
coaches not follow-
ing through and
putting down how
their team did. But now that the
games are three weeks done, it may
not even matter.
The site is worth checking out as
an example of how to keep the
folks at home informed quickly.
But visit it soon. While no expira-
tion date has been set, it won't be
up indefinitely.

Travel Tales
holocaust.miningco.com/library/weekly/aa073198.
You know how those travel mono-
logues by friends go: most of them are
sleep-inducing, but sometimes you
hear a narrative that makes you want
to call your travel agent.
Jennifer Rosenberg's how-I-spent-
my-summer-vacation page in the
Mining Company's
Jewish section is closer
to the latter than the
former, and it's a great
illustration of how ordi-
nary people can tell
compelling stories to a
vast audience, thanks to
the World Wide Web.
At http://holo-
caust.miningco.com/
library/weekly/aa073198.htm.
Rosenberg focuses on her Jewish
roots trip to Eastern Europe this sum-
mer. In straightforward prose, she
describes her motivation for the trip
and its planning. Then she offers a
plain but evocative narrative. "Though
I knew my trip to Eastern Europe
would be emotional, I was unprepared
for what I found," she writes.
She goes on to describe her experi-
ences in several cities — Prague,
which she found "a wonderful city
with beautiful buildings, nice people,
and a remaining Jewish community,"
and Warsaw, where members of her
Jewish tour displayed the usual gamut
of emotions.
And she describes in
evocative terms her trip
to Wlodawa, the town
closest to the Sobibor
death camp, and her
visit to a synagogue that
was a museum display-
ing the artifacts of an
exterminated popula-
tion, run by curators who knew little
about the displays except that they
were somehow connected to this van-
ished community.
The narrative is punctuated by a
handful of good color photographs.
The site is compelling because it
reflects an ordinary person con-
fronting the extraordinary past of the
Jews — and because it effectively uses
