We’re finally getting to the end of the conference “silly season.” I’ve never quite understood why so many organizations and associations have to schedule their statewide and national events during the same period of time. Fortunately, the American Library Association doesn’t stick to the same idea.
Thus far, I’ve presented at four conferences and attended a fifth. This Saturday, I’ll give my last presentation — Lynchburg to Berlin: United States Policy and Nazi Ideology. I’m fairly excited about it because it gives me the opportunity to talk about the destruction of handicapped under Nazi Germany, which is one of my favorite (Holocaust) topics.
