Speakers from the Vermont Holocaust Memorial (VTHM) will discuss the importance of history in promoting tolerance, respect and understanding with a program at the Jeudevine Library on Tuesday, November 14 at 7 PM.

VTHM’s moving exhibit: “From Generation to Generation …We Are Here! Honoring lives lost and stories of survival,” was introduced in Stowe earlier this year. The exhibit, which included historical photos and stories, touched several hundred Vermonters statewide including students, religious leaders and visitors of all faiths and backgrounds. VTHM is now in process of fundraising to create a new, more permanent, mobile exhibit to showcase Vermonters’ family Holocaust histories to promote respect, compassion and understanding.

Jeudevine Library is proud to be carrying forward the important lessons learned from the Holocaust. Knowledge is the most powerful tool in the fight against ignorance, intolerance and fear. By sharing stories of survival, and teaching their invaluable lessons learned, the Vermont Holocaust Memorial (a 501(c)(3) charitable organization) envisions a time when prejudice, bigotry and hate are replaced by respect for all.
