In 1981, Congress established the Days of Remembrance as a national commemoration of the Holocaust so that “mankind will never lose memory of the terrible genocide” that occurred during World War II.
On April 4, 1945, U.S. troops liberated the concentration camp Odruf, part of the Buchenwald network and Dachau on April29, 1945. In remembrance of the holocaust, the library will show the movie “Paper Clips,” an award winning documentary about a project by students at Whitwell Middle School in Tennessee who decided to collect paperclips to better grasp and visualize the concept of 6 million victims of Hitler’s Nazi regime. The movie is rated G (grades 6 and up recommended).
