I have received the materials distributed at the ACRL/NY and Queensborough Community College Friends of the Library's recent conference on Teaching the Holocaust & Tolerance.
Please let me know if you would like to look at the them.
Included are large format brochures from exhibits at the The Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives of Queensborough. They are entitled:
Sosua, the Dominician Republic: A Refuge from the Holocaust in the Tropics
Diplomats of Mercy
A State of Terror: Germany 1933-1939
Where Have All the Children Gone? Jewish Refugee Children During the Holocaust
To Save One Life: The Story of Righteous Gentiles, also in Spanish
Ships to Nowhere
The Nangjing Massacre: Genocide and Denial
Janusz Korczak's Warsaw
(Korczak was the author of very influential books, How to Love a Child, and "The Child's Right to Respect.") He ran a progressive orphanage in Warsaw. He could have saved himself, but he and the children were all killed at Treblinka. If you saw the movie "The Pianist," for which Adrian Brody won an Academy Award for best actor in 2002, the scene in the rail station includes Janusz Korczak and the orphans. There is also a documentary "Korczak" that was made a few years ago.
