Hitler collection at the John Hay Library featured in Providence Journal
|
The John Hay Library is home to a collection of Hitler’s books, which was donated in 1979 by the late Matthew Perlman, a member of the Class of 1957. Perlman got the books from his late uncle, Albert Aronson, who served in the U.S. Army in World War II and was one of the first Americans to enter Berlin in the spring of 1945. Samuel Streit, director of special collections at the Hay, says the collection is treated just like any other in the library.
