May is Jewish American Heritage Month

The Libraries' exhibition, Picturing Words: The Power of Book Illustration is currently on view in the National Museum of American History. One of the items featured in the exhibition is a wonderful woodcut-illustrated book by Nikos Stavroulakis, Yirmeyah (The Book of Jeremiah). Why not celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month by perusing these illustrations?—Elizabeth Periale
