The Holocaust and Wales - Episode 4. Liberation and Loss

Description

In this final episode, we look at tales of liberation, and of loss. We hear how Jewish refugees came to Wales to train as they prepared to liberate Continental Europe. We listen to Welsh servicemen who witnessed the horrors of the concentration camps. And we learn about survivors who managed to live through one of the darkest periods in human history and ultimately find a home in Wales.

The voices you will hear are those of survivors and servicemen, recorded as part of oral history interviews taken by CMOP, the JHASW, and Imperial War Museums. It can be used to supplement learning about the Holocaust in schools from Progression Step 4 and beyond.

CONTENT WARNING – contains descriptions of death and concentration camps that some listeners might find distressing.
