The U.S. and the Holocaust: Screening and Discussion

As International Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches, the Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Temple Beth El, the Resource Center for Nonviolence, and Santa Cruz County United for Safe and Inclusive Communities partner to host this screening and group discussion.

Discussions will focus on lessons learned and how only united can we eliminate hate and violence from society. Facilitated small-group discussion followed by report-outs will provide a framework for attendees to glean lessons from different parts of the documentary and how those lessons can be applied to fight hate here and now. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Attendees are encouraged to watch the entire 3-part documentary in advance of the discussion, which will air on local PBS Station KQED at 9 p.m. on January 6, 13, and 20 and also will be available to stream on the PBS website now through February 3rd. At the event, we will watch a 40-minute screener from the series provided by PBS Books, who is supporting programming around the documentary for Libraries nation-wide.
