Spotlight 25-26

WEEK A

Holocaust Memorial Day is an opportunity to commemorate the six million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions more - including gay and lesbian people and Roma and Sinti communities - under Nazi persecution. It is more important than ever to remember how the capacity for genocide can spread throughout communities and countries. Below are six books that we recommend to learn more about the realities and legacy of the Holocaust. These, and many more, are available to borrow from the Library! Holocaust Memorial Day
