On July 11, the Wilmington Library opened a special exhibition Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings. It provides a vivid look at the first steps the Nazis took to suppress freedom of expression, and the strong response that occurred in the United States both immediately and in the years thereafter. The exhibition focuses on how the book burnings became a potent symbol during World War II in America's battle against Nazism, and concludes by examining their continued impact on our public discourse.
Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings will run through the end of August at the Wilmington Library. It includes displays of period artifacts, documents, and news coverage, along with film, video, and newsreel footage. For more information on the exhibition contact the Friends of Wilmington Library at friendsofwilmlib@aol.com or visit www.ushmm.org. |

Summer Greetings from Albert Einstein Academy 
Shalom Friends, I hope you are enjoying your summer. We are winding down from a very successful school year, and we are gearing up for 2011-2012. We have our largest Gan class in eight years joining us in September. It is a blessing to see AEA grow from the bottom up. The Academy is unique. AEA is the only Jewish day school in Delaware, and while there are many private and public schools from which to choose, it is Albert Einstein Academy that unites us and deepens our sense of Jewish identity. Your support of the Academy gives families in this region the choice of a Jewish day school for their children. Albert Einstein Academy has a low student-teacher ratio; an engaging, challenging and nurturing environment; a dual language curriculum; and a well rounded program that includes performing arts, gym, fine arts, library and swimming. In addition, we have generous tuition grants for all new students plus bus transportation from Pennsylvania. Our average percentile rank of standardized test scores is 95%. If you are interested in learning how your child can flourish at Albert Einstein Academy, call 302-478-5026 to schedule a tour. B'Shalom, Michal Cherrin Head of School |
