Discrimination to Genocide: A Holocaust Memorial Project.  

A powerful and reflective exhibition curated by Causeway Coast and Glens Museum Services in partnership with local historical societies to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Moving from individual experiences of prejudice to the institutionalised horrors of the Holocaust, the exhibition explores how unchallenged intolerance can escalate into devastating mass violence. Through poignant displays, historical accounts, and creative writing, it honours the victims of the Holocaust and draws critical parallels to modern genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur, serving as a timeless reminder of the shared human responsibility to stand against hatred.
Available to view during library opening hours; All welcome.
