The Tauber Holocaust Library and Education Program offers a rich resource for students, scholars, and the general public. This university-level library in San Francisco includes over 12,000 volumes with a special emphasis on the collection of rare, out-of-print Yizkor (memorial) volumes. The collections, gathered from survivors and their families in northern California, include books dealing with every aspect of the Holocaust, an archive of 2,000 recorded oral histories, and photographs, documents, and artifacts from the period.
The library's educational programs make Holocaust history come alive and assist educators in transforming their classrooms into places where students are challenged and encouraged to be active learners.

Historical Pamphlet Collection
Volk in Gefahr, a pamphlet published in 1934, warns of dangers to the German race, and is an example of Nazi eugenics and racial theory. One page describes the disabled as "burden" to the German nation, and applauds a "new law for the prevention of congenitally diseased children."
The Tauber Holocaust Library's Historical Pamphlet Collection is a rich resource for tracing events contemporaneous to the war years. Its holdings include Nazi propaganda, and documents the world's reaction to events in Nazi Germany as they occur. |
The Tauber Holocaust Library is a non-circulating library, and it does not participate in any library loan exchange program.
