If you are planning on bringing your students to see the exhibit, the Midwest Center of Holocaust Education has teaching materials available for downloading. This exhibit focuses on events prior to the Holocaust. On May 10, 1933 there was a massive book burning by German University students, led by the Nazi movement. This exhibit focuses on these book burnings and America’s response to the events.
