The theme of this year's “Holocaust Learn & Remember” series, presented by the San Antonio Public Library and The Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio, is censorship.
“In 2021, in the deep of the pandemic, we did isolation. In 2022 the theme was immigration and refugees,” said Morgan Yoshimura, coordinator of services at San Antonio Public Library. “It’s my goal to pick a theme that’s relevant to current day. The history comes alive.”Success! You're on the list.
Nehemia Ichilov, president and CEO of JFSA, said the month-long programming in “Learn & Remember” is all about making sure San Antonians understand how to deal with moments in today’s world by using the museum’s lessons as a backbone. Meanwhile, the traveling exhibit remembers the tens of thousands of books burned by German university students in 1933, showing the widespread public support of Nazi censorship laws.
Although Met sees students drawing similarities between the Second War and current events — like the Russia-Ukraine war — she said modern politics are not brought into programming. Yoshimura said navigating current politics from a historical lens is not discouraged, but left to the audience at SAPL events.
