Join us for a talk by three survivors of Auschwitz to share their memories of the notorious death camp and reflect on how their survival has impacted their lives.

In response to our exhibition, 'Shaken to his Core: The Untold Story of Nolan’s Auschwitz', we have invited survivors Jack Meister, Olga Horak, Yvonne Engelmen to share testimony. As founding members of the Museum, they have lived through, and grappled with, this harrowing time in history, dedicating their lives over the past 30 years to bear witness.

This one-hour talk is a unique opportunity for them to memorialise the murdered, to educate about the past and to bring hope for the future that together we can fight prejudice in the world today.
