We're excited to announce that the Southern Adirondack Library System will launch the Messages From Survivors exhibit in two libraries this September, and will send it to a dozen more sites over the following two years.

A haunting portrait of Anna Maria Steinbach is August’s Portrait of the Month. We chose it because August 2nd is Roma Genocide Remembrance Day. On that day in 1944, nearly 3,000 Roma and Sinti people, mostly women, children and the elderly were sent to the gas chamber at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Anna Maria was probably one of them. She was nine years old.
