"Oskar Groening, the man accused of aiding and abetting in the murder of more than three hundred thousand Jews in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, was about to enter the German courtroom."--To Look a Nazi in the Eye: A Teen's Account of a War Criminal Trial by Kathy Kacer with Jordana Lebowitz
So that we never forget--Richland Library in partnership with The Anne Frank Center--has curated this list of stories about the Holocaust. Teen readers are looking for books that will help shape their opinions and feelings about the world. They are looking for stories that will tell them the truth--no matter how dark. Share these books together so that you can have important conversations about history, about hate and most importantly about hope.
The Anne Frank Center at USC brings to life the story of the young Jewish girl who – in the pages of her world-renowned diary – documented two years of hiding in German-occupied Amsterdam during World War II. By sharing Anne's legacy with visitors, students and teachers, the Anne Frank Center seeks to inspire our commitment to never be bystanders but instead to stand up together against antisemitism, bigotry and inequality wherever it may exist today.
The University of South Carolina is the Official U.S. Partner of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, and the only partner site in North America. The Anne Frank Center offers guided tours of its exhibition; tours can be booked on its website.
The Anne Frank Center is proud to work with Richland Library, encouraging all readers to remember and reflect on this International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
