Across from Loan and Reserve
In conjuction with Holocaust Awareness Week, Morgan Library will exhibit books on the Holocaust. The display is located on the first floor, across from the Loan and Reserve desk.
Holocaust Awareness Week is a time to remember the victims of the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi's during World War II- those that survived, and the many more who did not. It is also a day to recall what human beings are capable of doing to one another. We memorialize the Holocaust for the sake of those that were murdered, those that survived, and for our own sake, so that we may stop genocide from happening anywhere in the world. Morgan Library will honor this occasion with a book display featuring books on the topic.
Titles on display include:
- 'Final solution’: Nazi population policy and the murder of the European Jews by Götz Aly
- The triumphant spirit: portraits and stories of Holocaust survivors by Nick Del Calzo
- The Holocaust and the press: Nazi war crimes trials in Germany and Israel by Akiba A. Cohen
- The Holocaust: critical historical approaches by Donald Bloxham
- Between witness and testimony: the Holocaust and the limits of representation by Michael F. Bernard-Donals
- Tell ye your children: a book about the Holocaust in Europe 1933-1945 by Stéphane Bruchfeld
- ...and many more.
"In Germany, they first came for the Communists,
I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for me,
By that time there was no one left to speak."
- Pastor Martin Niemolier, Survivor of Dachau
