Holocaust Memorial Day 2024: An evening of remembrance with The Wiener Holocaust Library, Camden Council, JW3 and the Jewish Museum London
January 25, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
A Holocaust Memorial Day event with Camden Council, JW3 and the Jewish Museum London.
This evening event is organised in response to the 2024 Holocaust Memorial Day theme: ‘the fragility of freedom’ which invites us to consider the erosion of freedom by perpetrator regimes, including key rights such as freedom as expression, of religion and of movement.
It will feature readings of eyewitness testimonies held in our archive by the Leader of Camden Council, the Mayor of Camden and Youth MPs. The testimonies explore the lives of Betty Lewin and her experience as a Jewish refugee in the Netherlands, Lutz Hammer and his experiences in Sachsenhausen and Auschwitz-Birkenau camps, and Hermione Horvath and her persecution as an Austrian Sinti woman.
There will also be an exploration of the history of the Wiener Holocaust Library by our Senior Curator Dr Barbara Warnock. Rabbi Eli Levin of South Hampstead Synagogue will lead a prayer.
More details of speakers will be announced soon.
