Horsham students to talk with Holocaust survivors following memorial project

The webinar Q&A has been organised by the University of Sussex and entrants of the 2021 Holocaust memorial project at Collyer’s have been invited to attend.

The memorial project was set up by Collyer’s first year history student, Dan Brown, in conjunction with the history, English and art departments.

Collyer’s head of history, Lucy MacDonald, said: “I am so impressed with the standard of work produced and the compassion that comes across in the entries. It is so in keeping with the idea of this year’s theme which is ‘we will continue to do our bit for as long as we can, secure in the knowledge that others will continue to light a candle long after us’.”

The winning entries were Holly Morris (history), Beth Sims (English) and the art joint winners were Bethany Connett and Libby Williams.The winning entries were: Holly Morris (history), Beth Sims (English) and the art joint winners were Bethany Connett and Libby Williams.
