Holocaust Memorial Day remembers victims of genocides from the Holocaust to Darfur. This year’s theme ‘Torn from Home’ encourages us to reflect on the enforced loss of a safe place to call ‘home’ during genocide and persecution. This year in April, we also commemorate 25 years since the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. This panel discussion will touch upon the Holocaust, genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda and genocidal violence in Bosnia.

The panellists will consider ideas and experiences of ‘home’ and how these are represented across a range of art forms, after which the discussion will be opened to the audience. The tea and biscuits will be served at the start of the event, and we will also hold a moment of silence.

This is a free event and open to all, please register your interest as places are limited. 

If you booked but are unable to attend, please remember to cancel to ensure that we can give your place to someone else.
