The annual Holocaust: Learn & Remember series opens Thursday at Central Library with a presentation on a little-known forced labor camp.<\/p>\n
SAN ANTONIO \u2014 The San Antonio Public Library and the Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio will kick off their annual Holocaust: Learn & Remember series Thursday evening with a special opening event at the Central Library.<\/p>\n
The 14th annual series begins Thursday, January 8, at 7 p.m. inside the Central Library auditorium, located at 600 Soledad Street downtown.<\/p>\n
The opening presentation, titled \u201cThe Unknown Story of Karya\u2019s Forced Labor Camp,\u201d will be led by author Andreas Assael and second-generation Holocaust survivor Jerome Cohen. The discussion focuses on the little-known forced labor camp in Greece and the decades-long investigation that uncovered its history.<\/p>\n
Assael, the son of a Jewish survivor, began researching Karya after purchasing a photograph at a flea market in Germany, a discovery that ultimately led him to survivor Sam Cohen, Jerome Cohen\u2019s father.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Holocaust: Learn & Remember theme, Judgment, explores survivor stories, the prosecution of Nazi leaders during the Nuremberg Trials, and the idea that accountability is possible even for the most powerful.<\/p>\n
The annual series is held in observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and honors the victims and survivors of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The annual Holocaust: Learn & Remember series opens Thursday at Central Library with a presentation on a little-known…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":501891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-501890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115860854845306038","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
