This guide is intended to provide useful resources to faculty and students researching the genocide of European Jews during World War II, and more narrowly, the history and experience of the Theresienstadt ghetto camp.
The Imaginative Representations of the Holocaust Collection is housed in the Department of Special Collections, Connelly Library. It explores the Jewish Holocaust (1939-1945) with a focus on its aftermath and the nature of its witness communities. Additionally, it seeks to investigate the ways in which the actual event has become mythologized, re-envisioned, and commoditized to the public through films and literature. The Holocaust Collection includes films, memoirs, art books, novels, children's books, graphic novels, and ephemera.
Material in the Connelly Library is indexed in the Library Catalog.
