AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST—HISTORY UNFOLDED: HOW LOCAL NEWSPAPERS COVERED KEY HOLOCAUST EVENTS

The Lydia M. Olson Library was selected as one of 50 U.S. libraries to present the touring version of the Americans and the Holocaust special exhibition, which opened in April 2018 at the Museum in Washington, D.C., during the Museum’s 25th anniversary.

Samantha Pynnonen, Catherine Oliver, and NMU students will present a local initiative of the History Unfolded project on Thursday, October 20th at 7:00 p.m. in Room 224 of Harden Hall, Northern Michigan University. 

History Unfolded is a citizen historian initiative to gather data on how local newspapers mentioning the Holocaust. Participants look in local newspapers for news and opinion about 46 different Holocaust-era events that took place in the United States and Europe, and submit articles they find to a national database, as well as information about newspapers that did not cover events.
