Friends of the Emmitsburg Library

We are saddened to learn of the destruction of libraries in Ukraine. Russia bombs them knowing their tremendous value.

The methods have changed, but Moscow's goal has not. The chronology of attacks shows Russia keeps targeting Ukrainian books as part of a systematic war on memory.
