Heartfelt tribute to disabled victims of the holocaust

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tactile exhibition that showed one Jewish boys experience of going on the kinder transport. Everyone then enjoyed a delicious lunch before attending an informative talk by a lady who’s family had been killed in the holocaust. The group then went to the main exhibition about the rise of the Nazis before taking a moment to pay a special heartfelt tribute at the memorial dedicated to all the disabled victims of the holocaust.

A Fascinating day

Philip Simpson, said: “It was a fascinating day, the centre staff were brilliant attending not just to our needs but to our Guide Dogs too! We had a personal tour guide, which made the visit especially enjoyable.”
