Wiener Library

The Wiener Library has moved from Devonshire Street and today reopened in Russell Square, near the British Museum, in London. Named after its founder, the Wiener Library is the world's oldest museum of the Holocaust. It holds archives of Nazi persecution of the Jews as well as chilling books and games that indoctrinated young Germans with anti-Semitic ideas. The example shown is from Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom) a children's book showing how to identify Jews (title link). CLICK for the Library.
