SUMMARY:Americans and the Holocaust Traveling Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, D.C.\, will be at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus from February 5 – March 19 during library hours. \nThe exhibit addresses important themes in American history\, including Americans’ responses to refugees\, war and genocide in the 1930s and ‘40s. This exhibition will challenge the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded. Drawing on a remarkable collection of primary sources from the 1930s and ‘40s\, the exhibition focuses on the stories of individuals and groups of Americans who took action in response to Nazism. It will challenge visitors to consider the responsibilities and obstacles faced by individuals—from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to ordinary Americans—who made difficult choices\, sought to effect change\, and\, in a few cases\, took significant risks to help victims of Nazism even as rescue never became a government priority. The exhibit hopes to challenge people to not only ask “what would I have done?” but also\, “what will I do?” \nLibrary hours are Monday – Thursday 7:30 a.m. – midnight\, Friday 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.\, Saturday 1-5 p.m.\, Sunday 1 p.m. – midnight (closed March 14-15) \nFor more information about events related to the exhibit\, visit the exhibit website.

SUMMARY:Film screening and discussion: From Swastika to Jim Crow
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition\, the 2000 film “From Swastika to Jim Crow” will be screened at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion. \nFrom Swastika to Jim Crow (2000) explores the similarities between Nazism in Germany and racism in the American south during Jim Crow. It does this through the stories of Jewish scholars expelled from Germany who found teaching positions in historically Black colleges when the rest of academia was aloof or hostile. Their shared experience of oppression united the two groups leading to impactful collaborations that influenced the nascent Civil Rights movement and had broad societal impact. \nFor more information about the exhibit and other related events\, visit the exhibit website.
