OPENING RECEPTION

Wednesday, July 12, 5-7 pm

Northwest Reno Library


Join us for an opening reception for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association travelling exhibition, Americans and the Holocaust.


Americans and the Holocaust addresses important themes in American history, including Americans' responses to refugees, war and genocide in the 1930s and '40s. This exhibition will challenge the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded.
