Holocaust Memorial Day is upon us, and many events will be taking place across the North East to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland in 1945.
Somebody who has seen Auschwitz first hand after she visited alongside seven other teenagers with a youth group in 2010, is 29-year-old Leanne Miah. Together, the teens created a book to chronicle their experiences at the camp, in which they talked about their emotions at the time and what they learnt from the visit.
Leanne spoke about her experiences at an event held at Denton Burn Library on Thursday evening. She talked about how the trip came to be and the impact that it had on her.
