Event Details

Let's start the conversation...

Step into history as we celebrate the opening of the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibit at Bullitt County Public Library. This special evening sets the stage for six weeks of learning, reflection, and community connection.

The night begins with a powerful screening of the 2022 documentary The U.S. and the Holocaust by Ken Burns, followed by a guided discussion connecting the film to the exhibit’s central themes. Guests will then have the opportunity to explore the exhibit on their own before joining guided tours and a community reception.

✨ Expect an evening that’s elegant but welcoming—designed to spark conversation, inspire reflection, and honor the importance of memory.
