testimony from men and women who sought sanctuary in Scotland to escape the racism of Nazi-dominated Europe
The Gathering The Voices project has gathered and made available online oral testimony from men and women who sought sanctuary in Scotland to escape the racism of Nazi-dominated Europe.
Many made remarkable journeys to get to safety in Scotland. There is much for you to see and hear on this site.
Listen to the voices of the survivors – their accents will tell you a lot about their journeys. There are Scottish accents, continental lilts and sometimes a mixture of both.
All the interviewees spoke about the terrible events that brought them to Scotland.
The Gathering the Voices exhibition will be visiting the following locations over the coming weeks: Carmichael Hall, Giffnock on Monday 28th January for Scotland’s 2019 National Holocaust Memorial Event. Paisley Abbey from Tuesday 29th January until Sunday 3rd February inclusive. For information on the exhibition, please visit : https://www.gatheringthevoices.com/mobile-exhibition/
