Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue During the Holocaust

The international exhibition Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust bringing powerful personal stories of courage and moral choice during the Second World War is opening in Camden.

Presented by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS), based in Poland, the exhibition has been showcased at more than thirty venues across Europe, including the European Commission Headquarters in Brussels. Earlier this year, it was also presented at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

The British chapter of the exhibition, which features accounts from fifteen European countries, tells the stories of Eva Paddock, who arrived in Great Britain as a child on one of the Kindertransports organised by Sir Nicholas Winton and Ida and Louise Cook, the London-based sisters who helped Jewish refugees before the war by smuggling money and valuables across borders and supporting them upon arrival in the UK.
