For this event, we are honoured to be hosting speakers whose parents were survivors of the Holocaust, and who made a life in Scotland. As many of those who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust first-hand are no longer with us, we now look to the second generation to continue sharing their stories. This will be a special opportunity for pupils to hear these stories as told by those closest to the survivors. Together we can learn both from and about the Holocaust and take action towards a better future. The pupils will have the opportunity to ask questions, and will be able to share what they have learned with their fellow pupils back at school for Holocaust Memorial Day.

The programme for the day is as follows:

10.00-11.30: A tour of the synagogue, ‘Scotland a Sanctuary’ exhibition and a chance to view original archival material from the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre.
11.30-12.00: Break with refreshments provided.
12.00-1.30: Three second generation speakers, with time for questions.

This event is now fully booked.
