Holocaust class starts March 5

Local residents can learn more about the Holocaust through an upcoming adult education class.

The Whitehall School District and Whitehall Community Library are hosting a four-session Holocaust Literature Class. The class will meet March 5, March 12, March 26 and April 19 at the library.

Whitehall Librarian Jeannie Ferriss said the Holocaust is a tragedy the world will never forget.

"Yet less than half of all Americans can identify Auschwitz and the things which happened there," she said.

The Holocaust Through Literature program is a four-week study of the literature, both fiction and non-fiction, written about personal experiences, histories, fictional accounts, and other genres dealing with the Holocaust.

Sessions will include research information, discussions of individual accounts, and more. For more information or to sign up, call the Library at 287-3763.
