Holocaust Memorial Day

There have been few darker days in mankind's history than those during World War 2 and those who have not experienced it first hand cannot begin to imagine what it must have been like.

The Imperial War Museum North in Salford Quays marked Holocaust Memorial Day with a special exhibition of items, photographs, film and other materials associated witht the events of that period.

Our friends at the John Lewis Partnership sponsored a special exhibition featuring the luggage that refugees were allocated. Present during the opening of the exhibition were pupils from Radcliffe Riverside School and special guest was 'Jack', a survivor of the holocaust who was the only one of his family not to have been killed.
