This year marks 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Settle Quakers are hosting an exhibition to commemorate the 6 million Jews, and countless others, murdered during the Nazi regime and also to remember other acts of genocide since then like the 8000+ Muslim men and boys murdered in Srebrenica 25 years ago.
The exhibition discusses genocide and there is also so poetry in our tranquil Meeting Room to aid quiet reflection.
