Between Life and Death: Stories of Rescue During the Holocaust

We are thrilled to have this powerful and moving exhibition that pays tribute to those who chose to help persecuted Jews during the Second World War. By combining the stories of rescuers and survivors, the exhibition explores acts of moral courage and the complexity of human relationships under extreme wartime conditions, placing each story within its broader historical context.

Eccles Library: June 2 - June 30

Corinth Business and Community Training CIC have long used Salford Libraries as a venue for teaching and we sat down with founders Paul and Janet to talk about how this partnership brings together people of all ages and backgrounds in pursuit of learning.
