About the Exhibition
Genocide never just happens. There is always a set of circumstances which occur or which are created to build the climate in which genocide can take place. To commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day, we presented 10 contemporary objects from The Holocaust which reflect each of these stages. The text and objects were courtesy of Dr Bastiaan Wilems, Lecturer in the History of War in 20th Century Europe.
The 10 Stages of genocide were developed by Gregory H Stanton to explain the stages which lead to genocide. The stages can occur simultaneously or in a different order but are thought to lead to set of circumstances which occur or are created to build the climate in which genocide can take place. Find more information on the Holocaust Memorial Day Website.
The exhibition will be in place from 22nd January to 4th February 2024.
