For the next month, the high school's library will be home to an exhibit on the Holocaust.
Marylou Lordi, creator of this exhibit, has had the idea for this exhibit for 10 years but only began to display it about a year ago.
Her goal is to show visitors a timeline of the Holocaust and how the events unfolded.
"The Holocaust exhibit is the latest in our library presentations designed to expose our community to the arts, sciences and history with museum-quality work," Lordi said. "We encourage all students, teachers and parents to visit the library and see this moving reminder of one of the darkest chapters in modern history."
The exhibit features photographs taken by the first companies of American troops that entered the concentration camps.
Other memorabilia includes newspaper articles, poems, paintings, letters and clothing of those held in the camps.
Recent additions to the exhibit include poetry and reproduction of artwork from children of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, in city of Terezín, in what is now the Czech Republic.
The photographs and memorabilia are provided by Sherri Sparks of the Jewish Community Center and Marylou Lordi's own private collection.
"I am very passionate about it and grateful to be able to bring this to the high school and teach students about it," Lordi said. "We have to honor those people who were murdered."
