Highlights were profound workshops hosted by the museum team, the informative and moving museum exhibition, and a fascinating talk plus question and answer session by holocaust survivor John Hajdu MBE.
The workshops looked at the conditions that led to the Holocaust, acts of resistance by Jews during the Holocaust, and lessons that we can learn today.
The exhibition focused in detail on the ‘before, during and after’ of the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were systematically murdered.
John Hadju is a survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary, and of the Communist oppression that followed there after World War Two. Aged 20, he escaped to England with his mother.
The National Holocaust Museum (holocaust.org.uk/) is highly recommended.
