CONCORD – The international exhibit “Poles Saving Jews During the German Occupation, 1939-1945” will be on view weekdays at the New Hampshire State Library in Concord from Jan. 14-25.
The Association of Catholic Journalists of Poland produced the exhibit, which includes 18 panels of archival photographs with text in English and Polish.
