What’s On

Spotlight

Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January) honours the memory of those who suffered and lost their lives during the Holocaust and other genocides. It is a day to reflect on the importance of standing against hatred, discrimination, and intolerance in all its forms.

We are honoured to host “A Thousand Kisses: Stories from the Kindertransport,” an exhibition from The Wiener Library, at Chester Lane and Thatto Heath Libraries. It shares the poignant stories of eight Kindertransport children and their loved ones.
This exhibition offers a deeply moving insight into their experiences and the impact of this historic rescue mission.
🗓️ Exhibition Dates:
📍 Chester Lane Library: Monday 20th – Thursday 23rd January 2025
📍 Thatto Heath Library: Tuesday 28th – Friday 31st January 2025

We invite everyone to visit the exhibition and reflect on these powerful stories. Additionally, we will have a Book of Remembrance available for you to make your own personal pledge and remember the victims of the Holocaust, as we work towards a safer future for everyone.
 
To deepen your understanding, explore our Holocaust Memorial Reading List, curated to include memoirs, historical accounts, and thought-provoking works that highlight resilience, courage, and the lessons of the past.
 
We invite you to visit the exhibition, browse the reading list, and join us in ensuring that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten. Together, we can create a world where such atrocities are not repeated.
