We are deeply saddened to hear about the death of our friend, Avram Schaufeld.

Avram and Vera were drawn by artist Gideon Summerfield as part of his project From Generation to Generation (L’Dor V’Dor). Avram and Vera are both survivors of the Holocaust and were married for 62 years.

The Kindertransport ran between November 1938 and September 1939. Approximately 10,000 children travelled from their homes and families in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia to Great Britain. Many of them never saw their families again.

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2017 was marked across the UK with thousands of diverse activities involving people from all walks of life.

There are many organisations which may be able to assist and advise you with the organisation of your event, or help you learn more about some of the issues associated with Holocaust Memorial Day. Some work with Holocaust and genocide survivors, others focus on remembrance and education, and some work in community relations.
