Holocaust Centre North is an exhibition, archive and learning centre based at the University of Huddersfield. Our archive preserves the stories of survivors and refugees of Nazi persecution who made new lives in the North of England. In total our archive encompasses over 6000 items donated by 150+ families, including photographs, legal documents, letters, and oral & video testimony. Our educational, academic and artistic research and programming is shaped by a community-led approach, working in dialogue with survivors and their descendants.
This will be our third instalment of Memorial Gestures. Over the past two years we have worked with: Jordan Baseman, Laura Fisher, April Lin 林森 (MG1); Maud Haya-Baviera, Irina Razumovskaya, Ariane Schick, Matt Smith (MG2); and Tom Hastings and Rey Conquer as our first writer and translator respectively. If you would like to find out more about their research, follow the links to their blog posts.
We will be hosting ONLINE Drop In Sessions for prospective applicants on July 30th and August 12th.
