Project for Holocaust Memorial Day 27th January

On Thursday 7th January many Network Members from all over tuned in to listen to Caroline Slifkin’s very moving talk about her and Amy William’s commemorative Kindertransport/Holocaust art project. A project that in lockdown has given many a chance to reflect, revisit and share stories of their families.

The Network had been planning to run a project via our FB site for Holocaust Memorial Day on 27th January. Sharing memories and images to keep them alive. With this in mind, Caroline has kindly agreed to collaborate and work with us to share some of our members’ keepsakes.

From the 18th January we will be posting memories and memorials sent to us by our Members. This can be anything from a photo and a name to a full collage of items or simply an image with a poem.

If you would like to submit a memory for us to share, please email Suesmeding@secondgeneration.org.uk

Alternatively if you would simply like to know more about Caroline’s project, you can mail her on Caroline.slifkin@tiscali.co.uk
