May 7, 2024 11:27The Holocaust Centre North is to become a “world-class destination” for Holocaust education and research, thanks to the launch of its first archive catalogue, it was announced this week.
For the very first time, descriptions of over 70 of its original collections of personal papers and testimonies of Holocaust survivors and Jewish refugees who rebuilt their lives in the North of England can be accessed remotely via The National Archives website.
Holocaust Centre North archivist Hari Jonkers said: “It is exciting and rewarding to see the fruits of our hard work online at The National Archives so that these remarkable and vital Holocaust histories can be preserved and accessed globally.”
“Now, anybody with an interest in Holocaust history – be it academics, artists, schools, community groups, students, creative practitioners, researchers and survivors’ families – can remotely access this compelling collection, enabling a level of access and visibility the Holocaust Centre North Archive has never previously had.”
