USHMM | Americans and the Holocaust Traveling Exhibition   View Event

  • Saturday, April 11, 2026 (all day)
  • Calendar:   Exhibits
  • Location:  Baylor University Libraries One Bear Place #97148 Waco, TX 76798-7148
  • Description:  After a successful tour of 50 libraries from 2021 to 2023, the Museum is continuing to partner with the American Library Association’s Public Programs Office to extend the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition to an additional 50 libraries across the United States from 2024 to 2026. This 1,100-square-foot traveling exhibition is based on the exhibition that opened in April 2018 at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. The Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition 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?” To learn more, click here.

This program will take place at The Georgetown Public Library’s Hewlett Room, located at 402 West 8th Street in Georgetown, Texas on Sunday, April 12th 2025 from 2-4pm. The event is FREE and all are welcome. Deborah Roth-Howe, a daughter of one of the survivors of the community, will share a personal and detailed account of a rural Jewish community before, under and after Nazi Rule. She will present the powerful story at the heart of the acclaimed Holocaust exhibit “A Reason to Remember,” created by the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies. Her talk will highlight the history of the five Jewish families who lived in the village of Roth Germany between 1933 and 1942, tracing their daily lives, rising persecution, and eventual fate under Nazi rule. Through this village-level lens, Roth-Howe brings forward a deeper understanding of how the Holocaust unfolded for ordinary families whose lives were forever changed. Through this intimate story, attendees will learn about the everyday joys, challenges, and ultimately the devastation experienced by these families as Nazi persecution tightened around them. The program underscores the importance of preserving personal histories and recognizing the individual lives behind historical events. This Yom HaShoah event invites the community to reflect, remember, and bear witness. Roth-Howe’s presentation offers not only historical insight but also a moving intergenerational perspective grounded in her own family’s experience as Holocaust refugees.
