Abstract

“Remembering the Holocaust in America: Why Our Futures Depend on It” presented by Dr. Lisa A. Costello, Professor of Writing & Linguistics and Director, Women's Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS). The presentation was part of the Confronting the Holocaust, American Responses scholarly panel, presented as part of GS Libraries' Americans and the Holocaust programming.

Americans and the Holocaust is a traveling exhibition that examines Americans’ responses to Nazism, war and genocide in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. The exhibition 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. Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries is an educational initiative of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association. Additional programming support was made possible, in part, by Humanities Nebraska and Nebraska Cultural Endowment. To learn more about the exhibition, visit ushmm.org/americans-ala.
