"From the era before European contact to the present day, people living in what is now the United States have constantly been interacting with their environment. The use (and abuse) of natural resources - animals, plants, minerals, water, land - has produced prosperity, conflict, and destruction, reshaping both societies and ecology. The Environment in American History is a clear and comprehensive history that introduces students to the crucial role of the environment in America's past, present, and future.

As contemporary witnesses of the Holocaust in both family and institutional environments disappear, Holocaust Education has to deal with a radical change. A wide variety of digital, sometimes spatially-explicit, learning environments have been developed that could be called 'virtually interactive'. Only a few of these learning environments allow for research-based learning, and even fewer have been evaluated according to the aims of Holocaust Education itself, or with regard to the digital tools used. This contribution presents central aspects of an evaluation of a research- and geomedia-based learning environment. It was tested with students at various schools in Vienna's second district, specifically in the Stuwerviertel, which was a place of widespread deportation during the Nazi regime. In this paper, we concentrate on three domains: (1) the usability of currently available tools, (2) the emotional side of the research-based learning process, and (3) the contributions of the learning environment to the formation of the political subject.
