The University of York is honored to welcome Dame Stephanie Shirley CH for this year’s Holocaust Memorial Lecture.
In this profound and inspiring talk, Dame Stephanie will share her family’s experience of escaping Nazi persecution, their life as refugees, and her remarkable journey from a child of the Kindertransport to one of the UK’s most influential entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
Reflecting on the themes of survival, resilience, and the power of remembrance, Dame Stephanie will address the legacy of the Holocaust and how its lessons resonate in today’s world. Her personal story speaks to the enduring human spirit and the vital importance of tolerance, compassion, and action in our society.
