Link Gallery Exhibitions

7 to 30 January 2026

During the German Occupation from 1940-1945, thousands of Islanders were persecuted, including those imprisoned and deported for resistance or because of their British origins, forced and slave labourers of many nationalities who suffered and died in the Nazi fortification programme, and Jewish residents who faced deportation or fear of it as their livelihoods and freedoms were removed.

This exhibition shares the story of these persecuted groups, drawing upon the Wiener Holocaust Library collections, files recently released by the National Archives and artefacts belonging to descendants of the victims, some of whom will lay wreaths in their remembrance on 27 January to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
