Holocaust Collection Bookplate and Logo: In Memory of Holocaust Victims

About the Collection

Since 1995 the Carman Family Charitable Foundation has made generous donations to The Springfield Library in memory of victims of the Holocaust. This has enabled the Library to add several hundred items to our substantial holdings of Holocaust materials providing an extensive collection of circulating books and videos for adults and children dealing with all aspects of the Holocaust.

Research Sources

In addition to our circulating materials, we have several reference works and two major Holocaust research resources. The 22 volume Archives of the Holocaust is an international collection of selected documents, including many photographs and other primary source material. As well, we own the full 36 volume set of the official text in English of The Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal, Nuremberg 14 November 1945 - 1 October 1946.

Teacher Aids

The Library has several teachers' guides about Holocaust-related topics. These include two produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: Hidden History of the Kovno Ghetto and The Nazi Olympics. The Anti-Defamation League's Classroom Strategies for Teaching about the Holocaust provides ten lessons for classroom use. We also have the resource book accompanying the Facing History and Ourselves: Holocaust and Human Behavior series. In addition to print material, there are several good Internet sites for teachers:
