About the video
While the Holocaust is remembered rightly as an act of genocide against Europe’s Jewish population, the Nazis also sent close to 250,000 people with disabilities to their deaths. (Source: Holocaust Memorial Day Trust)
This grim fact is highlighted by Winchester’s Blue Apple Theatre, whose performers have learning disabilities and have been making a short documentary to observe Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January). Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 marks 80 years from the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Blue Apple, who are artists in residence at the University of Winchester, have been helped by students and staff at the University.
Theatre members recorded voice overs for the film at the university studios and two third year Film Production students, Hope Lines and Vasili Evangelou, have been editing the documentary.
Historical images have been sourced from the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the German Federal Archive and site images from Ken Parry. All other images have been provided by performers
