Images of the Nazi book burnings continue to resonate in American political discourse and infuse literature, film and popular culture. Those who depend upon the free access to information, who oppose book banning and censorship in schools, libraries, and bookshops, have invoked the symbolism of the 1933 conflagrations as an analogue to censorship and the suppression of the free exchange of ideas.

The Art Association of Jackson Hole, Teton County Library, Jackson Jewish Community, Teton County School District, pARTners, Central Wyoming College, University of Wyoming and Planet Jackson Hole present "Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings," in the ArtSpace Main Gallery through March 4, 2009.

This traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum opens with a reception at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 23.

This exhibition has been made possible in support from The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation, and Bert and Terry Romberg.
