As part of their commemoration events for Holocaust Memorial Day, Solihull School will be hosting the British Premiere of Condemned to Remember – a highly acclaimed film depicting the journey of Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental across Europe. Here he meets survivors of the Srebrenecia genocide and shows how racism is once again on the rise in Europe and how we should all be aware of its dreadful scenarios.
In last week’s Head Lines we shared details with you of events to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. We are now able to provide further details regarding an invitation from Solihull School and Remembering Srebrenica to all schools with secondary age children within the borough to attend a very special event. On the 26th January they will be hosting the British premiere of the highly acclaimed documentary Condemned to Remember. For details of how to book on this event, please see letter below.
