Through Our Eyes exhibition at Holocaust Centre North, Huddersfield

About this activity

The exhibition can be viewed during visitor opening times Monday to Thursday 10am to 5pm.

Through Our Eyes is a permanent exhibition about 16 children and young people who survived Nazi persecution across Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. They came to the North of England as refugees or survivors of the Holocaust, settled and made new lives here.

Through Our Eyes is an interactive, multi-media exhibition driven by survivor testimony. Visitors will see poignant personal photos of the survivors and their families and their original artefacts and documents, together with an original prisoner uniform and other artefacts from the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora. The survivors tell their stories of discrimination, persecution, escape, hiding, ghettos, forced labour, concentration camps and liberation through filmed testimony on six interactive touchscreens.

There is a reflective space at the end of the exhibition where visitors can learn about the survivors’ experiences when rebuilding their lives in the UK and explore a digital memorial to local families.

The exhibition contains photographs and video footage of concentration camps and atrocities that some visitors may find distressing. The exhibition is suitable for children and teenagers learning about the Holocaust in more detail, but not suitable for very young children.
