In partnership with the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust and the Georgia Public Library Service, Mountain View Regional Library is proud to host a touring banner exhibit visiting public libraries statewide in an effort to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and to promote public understanding of the history.

Witness to the Holocaust:  WWII Veteran William Alexander Scott III

The exhibit highlights World War II veteran and civil rights activist who served as a photographer in a segregated battalion of the United States Army. He witnessed and photographed the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration in Germany. The exhibit also draws parallels between the Jim Crow Laws between 1860-1960’s implemented in the United States and the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935-1945 implemented in Germany and Nazi controlled areas of Europe.

This exhibit can be viewed at Mountain View Regional Library from April 17 - May 19.
