BEYOND WORDS

BEYOND WORDS

Holocaust Memorial Day event and commemoration for people across Kirklees

Connecting the past to the present.

European partners, schools and local groups consider the impact of the words we use to describe those who are different to ourselves.

Artists and volunteers from 6 million+ Charitable Trust visited partners from Poland, Italy and Serbia during last year as part of an EU funded project.

A wide range of participants from different cultural and social backgrounds discussed why it is important to remember periods of history such as the Holocaust. Connections were made with current events worldwide, particularly the refugee crisis.

Stories and reflections from all four countries are at the heart of this event.

Delegates will share music, art, film, recordings and writing during the event.

Survivor of Auschwitz, Iby Knill, will also be part of the performance, together with students from Batley Girls High School.
