Americans and the Holocaust, a traveling exhibition that examines Americans’ responses to Nazism, war, and genocide in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s, is coming to WCPL this summer: June 20-July 24, 2026.

What did Americans know, and what more could have been done? The exhibition – from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association – also presents stories of individual Americans, some of whom took actions that went against the grain at the time, daring to rescue Jews from Europe.
