Drawer of Hope

Victoria Senett of Hungamunga arts and events has produced a piece of work in honour of Leon Greenman – author of ‘An Englishman in Auschwitz’.

Leon, who died in 2008, dedicated his life to telling people about his experience of the Holocaust in a crusade to stopping anything like it happen again.

Victoria explained: “Leon’s motto was ‘Never forget, always tell people’. I created this portrait of Leon to represent the feelings that people often want to put the Holocaust away in a drawer – to forget about it and pretend its not there, not part of our history.”
