Holocaust Memorial Day – D-DAY Museum

To commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day this Sunday, Portsmouth D-DAY Museum will be offering free admission. There will also be a display about the Holocaust. This year’s theme ‘Untold Stories’, will include an exhibition created by Masters graduate Dan Kneller and local illustrator Ashley John about the death camps of Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka.

At 2pm local author Roger James will do a book signing for his recent book ‘Ursula Liberated’. It tells the story of Ursula Sternberg, wife of Jonathan Sternberg the composer, about her time in hiding in German-occupied Belgium during the Second World War, her liberation and subsequent friendship with one of the liberating troops after the war. Roger James served with Montgomery and is also the author of ‘Montgomery at Normandy.
