Holocaust survivor Zigi Shipper, 88, and journalist Natasha Kaplinsky met last week with young people from the city’s Jewellery Quarter Academy to launch a year-long pilot of “Echo Eternal”.
The project encourages young people to explore the events of the Holocaust and the wider lessons for society through art forms, facilitated by an artist-in-residence, commissioned in association with Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
It is supported by the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation which has gifted the schools 12 survivor testimonies recorded by Ms Kaplinsky as part of a national drive to ensure the UK has a permanent record of survivors’ experiences. Among these is the testimony of Zigi, an Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor.
