Handling Box Workshop - Becoming a Refugee

About

Wednesday 26 August 2026 | 1pm - 2pm
National Holocaust Museum
Free workshop with museum admission charges

The 'Becoming a Refugee' handling box poses the question of what it means to be a refugee. Through the stories of Jewish refugee children who escaped Nazi Germany and other countries and found refuge in Britain before and after the Second World War. Through carefully chosen artefacts, we will explore who these children were, what they were forced to leave behind, their expeeriences in a new country, and how they were welcomed.

Limited places available. Families welcome with parental guidance suitable for ages 9+
