1936 Nazi Olympics
Exhibition Coming to Chico

The Nazi Olympics, Berlin 1936 exhibition is coming to CSU, Chico on January 30. It will be displayed in Colusa Hall through March 29, 2001.

Organized and circulated by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., it is hosted locally by the City of Chico, the university, the Modern Jewish and Israel Studies Program, the Associated Students, and the Interfaith Council of Butte County.
