Framingham State University's Henry Whittemore Library is one of 50 U.S. locations selected to host Americans and the Holocaust, a traveling exhibition made possible by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association.
Americans and the Holocaust examines the motives, pressures, and fears that shaped Americans' responses to Nazism, war, and genocide in Europe during the 1930s - 1940s. The exhibition also addresses important themes in American history, exploring the many factors that influenced decisions made by the U.S. government, the news media, organizations, and individuals as they responded to Nazism.
Learn more about the Americans and the Holocaust exhibition. For those unable to view the traveling exhibition at our library, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides a 40 minute online tour of the larger exhibit located at the museum. Curator Dr. Daniel Greene, who will be speaking at Framingham State University on September 18th, 2024, leads the virtual tour.
Americans and the Holocaust was made possible by the generous support of lead sponsor Jeannie & Jonathan Lavine. Additional major funding was provided by the Bildners — Joan & Allen z”l, Elisa Spungen & Rob, Nancy & Jim; and Jane and Daniel Och. The Museum's exhibitions are also supported by the Lester Robbins and Sheila Johnson Robbins Traveling and Special Exhibitions Fund, established in 1990.
