Grand re-opening and upcoming events!
May 2013
Welcome to the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust and Anne Frank in the World enewsletter. Updates on upcoming events, program, and opportunities right to your inbox! Here is what is new:
2013 Library Tour
The Georgia Commission on the Holocaust in partnership with the Georgia Public Library Service is bringing the travelling exhibit "Witness to the Holocaust: WWII Veteran William Alexander Scott III at Buchenwald" to libraries throughout the state from May to November of 2013. This library tour is supported in part by a grant from the Georgia Humanities Council.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of key events in the Civil Rights Movement and now citizens across Georgia will have the opportunity to gain a uniquely local perspective on the struggle against discrimination.
William Alexander "W.A." Scott III was a photographer in a segregated battalion of the United States Army during World War II. His witness testimony of the liberation of Buchenwald is told in the travelling exhibit "Witness to the Holocaust", which draws parallels to the Jim Crow Laws and the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935-1945 implemented in Germany and Nazi-controlled areas of Europe. The exhibit is based on a permanent exhibit of the same name which is hosted at the Anne Frank in the World: 1929-1945 exhibit in Sandy Springs. It was curated by the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust in 1997 and revised in 2012 for the traveling version.
The exhibit will be presented to the community at some locations by Viki E. Staley, Executive Director of the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, and Dr. Jerry Legge, University of Georgia. Following the presentation of the exhibit, Dr. Legge will speak. The event is free and open to the public.
