This year’s exhibition will feature a ‘Timeline of Nazi Germany’ with a year-by-year account of how freedoms were gradually restricted and removed from the Jewish people from 1933 onwards - long before the start of the Second World War.
Another resource will outline genocides that have taken place in other countries throughout the 20th century and in the early years of this century. Materials will also include ‘Faces of the Holocaust’ and ‘Personal Possessions of the Holocaust’ featuring both poems and reflections by participants following their visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Also available will be a few copies of the ‘Canada’ booklet which was penned by Causeway Coast and Glens’ Councillor Steven Callaghan following a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau. The piece tells the moving story of a young Jewish boy who lived during the Holocaust.
Council is also taking part in the Light the Darkness campaign, which will see Council’s headquarters light up purple on 27th January to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.
