The aim of Holocaust Centre North’s creative programming is to open up spaces for nuanced conversations on how Holocaust memory is changing with fewer eyewitness accounts to hand; the way histories and the commemoration of atrocity are used and misused, and the intersections of Holocaust history with other histories of persecution, colonialism, racism, migration and genocide. By ensuring that the atrocities of the Nazi genocide are never forgotten we seek to raise awareness of human rights, freedom and equality. Our educational, academic and artistic programming is shaped by a community-led approach, working in dialogue with survivors and their descendants. At every stage of our development, we continually return to the core values of bearing witness to the truth and showing solidarity with survivors.
