Book talk: The remarkable life of Elie Wiesel

How did a Hasidic boy from a village in the Carpathian Mountains become the torchbearer for the world’s Holocaust survivors and for the victims of genocide everywhere?

Remembering the Holocaust through personal objects by Paul Salmons

Today, museums and exhibitions across the world collect and display original artefacts from the Holocaust. At first glance, many appear to be rather unremarkable: a shoe, a suitcase, a pair of spectacles. But this is to overlook the fact that these seemingly everyday objects are among the last remnants of a murdered people, and each has its own unique story to tell.

Join Paul Salmons as he shares the stories of artefacts that have touched him most deeply, and asks what meanings they hold for us today.
