Each poster promotes meaningful conversation and reflection and inspires students with powerful human stories of the Holocaust that can continue to guide and inform their steps forward.

Free Manga Set for Your Library
"Go" is an ancient Asian game that has regained popularity. The American Go Foundation provides the manga series "Hikaru" for free to schools and libraries, but they do ask for $25 to help cover the cost of shipping & handling. If your location is serving disadvantaged kids, or your budget cannot cover the expense, you may request free shipping. (I know librarians in Indiana who had the fee waived; this photo is from a librarian who received it.)
To order your set of Hikaru, contact them at mail@agfgo.org.
Two cardboard playing sets are included with the shipment, as well as two copies of their booklet on how to play, The Way to Go. Once kids read Hikaru, they will want to play Go! The cardboard sets will get you by until you are ready to launch a full Go program.
