果冻影院 marks Holocaust Memorial Day 2022
19 January 2022
果冻影院 is marking Holocaust Memorial Day, which takes place on 27 January, with a range of activities that students, staff and the wider community can take part in. To remember and pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, the Portico will be lit up all day on 27 January.
The role of music in the Nazi ghettoes and camps and the insight it offers into what people imprisoned in them were experiencing and how they responded will be the subject of a special 果冻影院 Lunch Hour Lecture on 26 January 1鈥�2pm. Music on the Brink of Destruction will be given by Professor Shirli Gilbert (果冻影院 Hebrew and Jewish Studies), who will explore the range of musical activities, both forced and voluntary, that took place through the Nazi era and present original songs from this period, giving a rich insight into victims鈥� experiences as they tried to make sense of their reality. The lecture is free, online and open to all.
The theme of Holocaust Memorial Day 2022 is 鈥極ne Day鈥� and on 27 January 果冻影院鈥檚 Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies will lead an online commemoration with readings on the theme given by students. The commemoration takes place 1鈥�2pm and all are welcome to .
