“Research Sprints” Help Show What Virginia Papers Covered During the Holocaust
What did Virginia newspapers report about Nazi persecution during the 1930s and 1940s? There is a misconception that Americans did not know about the Holocaust as it was happening, but many facts were reported through daily newspapers.
Early in 2020, the Library of Virginia began planning a series of “research sprints” with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum for their History Unfolded project. This project is organized around specific events that were likely to be covered in American newspapers. Members of the public, sometimes called citizen archivists or historians, search newspapers for articles related to these events and upload them to the site. Read more to learn about the process and how to join in on two upcoming research sprints.
