  Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As our local school district stated in an email today: "Amid a tide of rising antisemitism in our country and our local community, we remind ourselves that education is a large part of the answer." We have pulled a few titles we have in stock we can use to educate ourselves about the genocide of six million Jewish people during the Holocaust. We have several more en route and welcome suggestions on essential reading for all ages. https://bonjourbooksdc.com/collections/international-holocaust-remembrance-day

In honor of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday we pulled together some titles that illuminate the history and legacy of racism in America. From a biography of Dr. King in Manga format to Jesmyn Ward’s Le Chant des Revenants (Sing, Unburied, Sing) a beautiful novel that explores the legacy of slavery across three generations of a Mississippi family, we hope you find a story that helps you feel a connection with the great man and the injustices lived by Black Americans that he so bravely fought to correct.
