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.
