Liberators & the Holocaust

Arn Kind will present Liberators and The Holocaust at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 9 at the Park Rapids Armory and Events Center. Kind will relate the tragic story of how the Holocaust was perpetrated by the Nazi Party and how a nation of cultured people with a proud heritage were persuaded to allow and even carry out the worst genocide in the history of the world. Most importantly, he will share first-person accounts of American soldiers, including Minnesotans who came across and liberated these camps. For many, this experience changed their lives forever. This free event is sponsored by the Kitchigami Regional Library System, the Park Rapids Area Library and made possible by the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
