H E R E F O R D S H I R E Council’s community heritage team has arranged two special exhibitions to mark this year’s 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Berkenau death camp.
Never Again? Thinking about the Holocaust will be on display until Saturday at Hereford Museum and Art Gallery before moving to Leominster Library from Monday, until February 27 and to the Cider Museum, Hereford from March 1 to 6.
This exhibition, by the Wiener Library, Britain’s leading archive on the Holocaust and Nazi era, allows audiences to explore and think critically about the issues raised by the Holocaust and genocide.
The Never Again? exhibition is complemented by the Heartstone Testimony Auschwitz- Berkenau exhibition on display at Hereford Museum and Art Gallery until February 20.
This is a powerful photographic exploration of the Auschwitz-Berkenau death camp, featuring stunning contemporary photographs of this historic site and testimony from survivors.
Later in the year in October, to coincide with Herefordshire Photography Festival, the photographic exhibition Absence and Loss by Marion Davies will be on display in the stairwell of Hereford Museum and Art Gallery.
The exhibition records Marion’s journey around Berlin exploring the many Holocaust memorials in the city and impact of Nazis in Berlin and the wider German population in the wartime era.
