 Published on: 17th January 2024   |   By: Panayiota Demosthenous   |   Category: Uncategorized

Pinner residents will have the opportunity to hear first-hand accounts of the Holocaust to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.

Harrow Arts Centre will host the Holocaust Memorial Day: Fragility of Freedom event on Thursday, January 25, which is free to join online or in person at the centre in Hatch End.

People of every faith or no faith are invited to hear first-hand accounts of the Holocaust, genocide and other forms of identity-based hostility, as well as musical performances and special guest speakers, including a child survivor of the Holocaust, Joan Salter MBE.

Joan said: “The most poignant reminder of all from the past is a photograph I found at the Portuguese Red Cross archive. It is of a group of 14 children. At the front is a skinny little girl of three-and-a-half. This is Fanny Zimetbaum – the child I was once”
