This year our theme will be ‘How can life go on?’ and we will reflect on our City’s response to the events of the time as well as share the stories of those who took refuge here.

The programme will include an eclectic mix of survivor testimonies, songs, readings, dance and music. 

Our speakers will include Lord Alf Dubs, himself a Kindertransport child, Dagmar Lieblova who was a child in Terezin and Dr Sean Lang of Anglia Ruskin University talking about how a nation can recover form genocide.

We will see a newly commissioned piece of dance developed present and past students of Hills Road Sixth Form College to honour the memory of Elie Wiesel who died this year and we will hear the story of a young man who came to Cambridge to escape the Nazis and lived in a hostel at 25 Parkside.

Doors open: 4:30pm
