The Project:
During lockdown we have had to find more creative ways to work together and learn. The Keepsakes of the Kindertransport: a Holocaust creative art book project is a way to use the time to reflect, revisit and share stories and experiences with each other. Creating individual pieces, that will be joined with others in a collaborative art book, is a way of staying connected, feeling part of the community, connecting locally, nationally and internationally with one another. The project is open to any members of the Second and Third Generation Holocaust Survivors (Kindertransportees, child survivors, camp survivors and refugees) around the world. Soon the project will move to an online platform in the shape of an online exhibition . The deadline for submission is the end of December 2020. - Amy & Caroline -
