Collect, Preserve, Share

Our latest exhibition explores stories of Armenian and Yezidi women held in genocidal captivity, using humanitarian records of Armenian survivors from the 1920s and recent interviews with and compelling portraits of Yezidi survivors in Iraq.

We’re thrilled to announce that we have received £240,000 of funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for a ground-breaking new project, Digital Transformation: Connecting Collections and Communities.

Using a fresh approach to testimony collections, Professor Janine P. Holc reconstructs the forced labour experiences of young Jewish females, as told by the women who survived and shared their testimony.

Auerbach wrote Der Yidisher Oyfshtand: Varshe 1943 (The Jewish Revolt: Warsaw 1943) in 1948. it was first published in Yiddish in Warsaw. This book has now been translated and published in English for the first time.

This event is organised as part of the Genocidal Captivity exhibition events series. On the 109th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, historian Matthias Bjørnlund will join us from Copenhagen to discuss Karen Jeppe’s unique relief and rescue methods, in the broader context of Danish humanitarian relief efforts in the aftermath of the genocide.
