Burned: Literary Censorship and the Loss of Freedom”. This eight-week
exhibition at the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach runs from Wed., Nov.
7th- Sun., Jan. 6, 2013 and will provide a vivid look at the first steps the
Nazis took to suppress freedom of expression, and the strong response from the
United States.

A special event highlighting the exhibition will be a free
musical concert, “A Tribute to Holocaust Music!” This performance will be held on Sunday,
December 2nd from 2:00pm-3:00pm in the library’s Auditorium. Please join us as Cantor Emil Levy and keyboardist
Dr. Mark Cuttler perform a tribute to Holocaust music. Learn about Holocaust
music and the optimistic influence Jewish music had on the prisoners as a sign
of hope. The film The Forgotten People: Christianity and the Holocaust will be
shown following the performance. This film spotlights Judeo-Christian
solidarity throughout history’s darkest hour. For more information please contact the
library at 561.868.7701. Parking at the
