Fighting the Fires of Hate

Last month, 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.
