Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust
1 May 2026 – 31 May 2026
Sutton Central Library
Event Description
From 1 to 31 May 2026, the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) and Sutton County Council will present the exhibition "Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust" at Sutton Central Library, St Nicholas Way, Sutton SM1 1EA.
Risking one’s own life to save another person is one of the most extraordinary acts of courage. The exhibition Between Life and Death. Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust pays tribute to those who, during the Second World War – despite the threat of imprisonment, deportation, or death – chose to help persecuted Jews. By combining the stories of rescuers and survivors, it highlights the complexity of human relations under the extreme and varied circumstances of the war, placing each story within a broader historical context. This approach enables visitors to better understand the local conditions that shaped the possibilities for survival and assistance.
