Through the American Library Association's Public Programs Office, the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition will tour 50 public and university libraries through November 2023.
This 1,100-square-foot traveling exhibition is based on the exhibition that opened in April 2018 at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.
