Join us for a Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony centred around this year’s theme, “Create a Better Future”, where we come together to remember the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.
To mark this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day, René Cassin together with The Wiener Holocaust Library, Waging Peace and the Darfur Diaspora Association UK, is hosting a joint event where we will learn about the current situation in Darfur and South Sudan, challenges facing survivors and their families as they seek safety in the UK and the allyship and support we can offer.
This week, to mark the ten year anniversary of the genocide against the Yezidis, 12 testimonies from female survivors of these atrocities were deposited in our collection.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the November 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms, the Wiener Holocaust Library will host an event in conversation with Pav Singh and Bobby Friction.
This event is organised as part of the Genocidal Captivity exhibition events series. On the 109th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, historian Matthias Bjørnlund will join us from Copenhagen to discuss Karen Jeppe’s unique relief and rescue methods, in the broader context of Danish humanitarian relief efforts in the aftermath of the genocide.
This virtual panel will bring together speakers in conversation, moderated by Dr Rebecca Jinks, to discuss their foundational and wide-ranging work on interviewing survivors of the Holocaust and genocide.
