| Lovett Memorial recently paid homage to the Holocaust with a special book display. |
A recent Yahoo news
piece by Dylan Stableford reported survey results that declared less than half
of the world’s population of persons 35 and under are familiar with the
Holocaust and, consequently, the horror the event represents and indeed
inspires — or should inspire!
The concluding
paragraph of the Stableford article purports that a spirit of anti-Semitism is
present world-wide and may even be growing. Some of the books so recently
showcased at Lovett Memorial Library include the following titles:
- “Accounting for Genocide: Victims — and Survivors — of the Holocaust” by Helen Fein;
- “Fugitives of the Forest: The Heroic Story of Jewish Resistance and Survival During the Second World War” by Allan Levine;
- “Story of a Secret State” by Jan Karski;
- “Never Again: A History of the Holocaust” by Martin Gilbert;
- “Soldiers of Evil: The Commandments of the Nazi Concentration Camps” by Tom Segev;
- “The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million” by Daniel Mendelsohn;
- “The Avengers: A Jewish War Story” by Rich Cohen;
- “Elie Wiesel: A Challenge in Theology” by Graham Walker;
- “IBM and the Holocaust” by Edwin Black;
- “The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story” by Diane Ackerman;
- “When the World Closed Its Doors: Struggling to Escape Nazi-Occupied Europe” by Ida Piller-Greenspan;
- “Remembering Survival: Inside a Nazi Slave-Labor Camp” by Christopher Browning.
A number of other
titles on the subject are also available for check-out at Lovett Memorial. For
