The Stowe Free Library is hosting Americans and the Holocaust, a traveling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. 

This project was done in conjunction with the American Library Association and the Stowe Free Library was the only library in Vermont chosen to host this exhibit. The 1,100 square foot exhibition is based on the exhibition that opening in 2018 at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.

The Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition addresses important themes in American history, including Americans' responses to refugees, war, and genocide in the 1930s and '40s. It will challenge the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and the murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded.
