Georgetown Library exhibit shares truths of the Holocaust
Deborah Roth-Howe shares her family’s story of life in Roth, Germany, under Nazism in the 1930s. Her exhibit at the Georgetown Public Library can be viewed through May 21.
When the Nazis came to the small village of Roth, Germany, in 1933, Deborah Roth-Howe’s father was a child.
His Jewish family was only one of five in Roth, and its members were the only Holocaust survivors among the village’s small Jewish community.
The family survived because they had a cousin living in Chicago who sponsored members’ immigration to the United States in 1938.
