Meeting Rooms A & B Combined

Hear from Sharie Fay Fields, whose grandmother and mother were Polish Jews and the only two from their large family to survive World War II.

Sharie will also share how Jewish history is relevant today, how Nazi policy was formed and the build up to WWII, as well as the true story she wrote, “Women of Valor.” Jewish objects will be on display, including a prayer shawl, prayer book, Jewish calendar, Shabbat candlesticks and more.

Our volunteer guest speaker comes to us from the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council.

In conjunction with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association's Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries, the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library has planned an accompanying event series to explore important themes related to the exhibition. This event is part of that series.
