Visit to Holocaust Centre North — Sunday 3 November 2024

Our sesquicentennial (150th) event will be a visit to Holocaust Centre North ("HCN").

"HCN" is a permanent exhibition and learning centre on the University of Huddersfield campus created by the charity Holocaust Survivors’ Friendship Association. It seeks to raise awareness of human rights, freedom and equality by exploring one of the darkest chapters in contemporary history. You can learn more about it on the Holocaust Centre North website.

We have organised with HCN a special visit for the Forum on Sunday 3 November. The details are below.

Car sharing

Car sharing is best organised by yourself with your friends.

However, we are willing to try connecting people who need lifts and people who can offer lifts. If so, please email mail@muslimjewish.org.uk telling us:

  1. Your postcode.
  2. Whether your need a lift, OR whether you are offering a lift.

We will then share the list of people needing / offering lifts just with the people on that list so that they can contact each other by email so they can arrange things amongst themselves.
