24 January @ 3.00 pm - 3.45 pm
Explore the Holocaust through the experiences of six individuals from our collection. The theme for this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day is ‘One Day’. Through this tour we will look at key days when life changed for these six people. This tour will include a child experiencing antisemitism for the first time, a poet joining the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and a family facing deportation. These experiences will be told through objects from our Holocaust Collection.
This is a virtual event delivered via Zoom. Participants will be sent the link to join in advance.
