(LAVALLETTE, NJ) -- In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day 2023, the Ocean County Library invites you to explore the many roles taken on by children in the harrowing ordeal. Zoey Guarino, M.A., will present “Childhood Under Nazism: Art, Memory and Resistance” at the Upper Shores Branch on Wednesday, January 25. The event begins at 2:00pm.

Survivor testimonies, and evidence left behind, offer clear examples of persistence and hope among young victims of the tragic era. The presentation is a commemoration of these children, and of the adults who strove to protect them.

An Ocean County resident, Zoey Guarino earned a Master’s Degree with a focus on Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Before becoming Assistant Director of Kean University’s Restorative Justice Education Grant, she taught at Stockton University.
