Americans and the Holocaust

AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST—FILM SCREENING

AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST—FILM SCREENING

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.

As part of the exhibition, we have partnered with the Peter White Public Library to show a 1994 film from PBS on Monday, October 17th. Join us in the Community Room of the Peter White Library at 7:30 p.m. for the film screening.  

Film Description: "Weaving together interviews, official photos and documents, home movies, and archival film, this 90-minute film explores the complex social and political factors that shaped America's response to the Holocaust. The story of Kurt Klein, who struggled with State Department red tape to free his parents from Europe, represents America's reaction to European Jews clamoring for rescue."
