in remembrance of the liberation of Auschwitz 80 years ago.

​               Remembrance is a choice, for it is by remembering the darkness that we continue to live in the light.

Many thanks to DE, the photographer for these photographs. 

In the Chapel, a display remembers the Holocaust and the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau by the Allies.
​​It was prepared on behalf of the 'Friends of the Chapel' by Margaret Wilmot . 
​

​If you visit the Museum this week, you will receive a small bar of chocolate given by A Friend of the Chapel.

​Michael Bentine, a well known comedian who died in 1966, was a liberator at Bergen Belsen concentration camp and gave some chocolate to a starving prisoner who never forgot.
