“There will be times when you'll feel lonely and homesick. Let the stars of the night and the sun of the day be the messenger of our thoughts and love.”― Stars of the Night: The Courageous Children of the Czech Kindertransport by Caren Stelson | illustrated by Selina Alko
So that we never forget--Richland Library in partnership with The Anne Frank Center--has curated this list of stories about the Holocaust. It can be hard to talk about the darkest moments of history with young readers, but it is so very necessary. 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.
