Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II is on display at the . Rosie the Riveter has become the symbol of women's involvements in World War II. She only tells a small part, however, of the larger stories about the ways women contributed to and were affected by war. World War II changed the everyday social, cultural and economic realities of life in the United States—especially for women. This exhibit explores the stories of these women in their complexities and honors women in World War II. This exhibit is currently on display through Thursday, May 31.

In Her Father's Eyes is on display at the East Cobb Library. Born the same year as Anne Frank, a Czechoslovakian girl named Kitty Weichherz and her parents were deported to Auschwitz in 1942. Thirteen-year-old Kitty and her immediate family did not survive, but a detailed and loving diary kept by Kitty's father remained safe with her aunt. Kitty's story provides a powerful and poignant document of daily life in Europe on the eve of Hitler's Final Solution and the basis of In Her Father's Eyes. This exhibit will be on display through Thursday, April 26.
