Holocaust Memorial Day: How a group of Jewish children found some sanctuary in Co Down

As the world pauses to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on Thursday January 27, Northern Ireland will pay its respects with a fascinating look at how it helped to rehabilitate survivors of the Nazi death camps.

The Linen Hall Library in Belfast is to host From Auschwitz to Ulster: One Day That Changed And Saved Lives With Scott Edgar on Thursday at 3pm. The event takes place in the Performance Area plus a live online Zoom stream.
