The exhibiting and photography of the Holocaust continues to be contentious issue. In her article, Katie explores the role of photography in Holocaust memorialisation, spotlighting the recent ‘Seeing Auschwitz’ exhibition in her research.

The Bristorian reports on the Bristol JSoc and History Society collaborative event that took place on November 7th 2022, in which a Holocaust survivor talks of his experiences and the impact it had on his life.

The legacies and memories of the Holocaust do not stop with those who lived through it, they continue to affect every single one of us today. For the descendants of victims, such legacies are even more pronounced. Here, The Bristorian considers such legacies and suggests how we can effectively memorialise the Holocaust.

The 27th of January is the day we devote to remembering the lives lost in the Holocaust.

Here, The Bristorian seeks to aide that process with the first of a series of articles memorialising the Holocaust.
