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.
During the lecture, Scott will look at "one day" in history that changed the lives of young Jews from across Europe following the liberation of one of the most notorious concentration camps, Auschwitz.
