Leon S. Benson Holocaust Studies Collection

Leon Benson was the only survivor in his family from the Holocaust. It is in his honor that this collection was compiled as a "memorial". The collection includes written and visual accounts of witnesses to the Holocaust. Funding for the materials came from his family and friends. This is an excellent resource tool for elementary, middle school, and high school students, plus any others interested in learning more of a tragic period in history. Since part of the local high school curriculum involves study of the Holocaust the collection is particularly beneficial.
