Iowa Holocaust Council member and educator, Brad Wilkening, will be presenting Lessons of the Holocaust at Milford Memorial Library on Thursday, September 16, at 2:00 p.m. Wilkening’s presentation focuses on how lessons learned from the Holocaust are still relevant and can be applied in today’s world. His goal is to teach people that they need to create a safer and more caring environment. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Milford Library, Friends of the Spirit Lake Public Library, and Friends of the Arnolds Park Public Library.
