It Started with Words

Presented by the Museum of History and Holocaust Education

Beginning in 1933, the Nazis used words and images to turn public opinion against “undesirable” people. Tyler Crafton-Karnes, from the Museum of History and Holocaust Education will discuss the steps taken by the Nazi regime that ultimately led to the extermination of 11 million people. Through survivor testimony, discover the history of the Holocaust, the power of resilience, and the indomitable nature of the human spirit. Be sure to view the exhibit in the Post Road Library from July 20 - August 22, "Georgia's Response to the Holocaust."
