Dublin City / Temple Bar and Creative Quarter

Photographers Bob Dixon and Jim Leonard made a number of visits to the site of the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp that today is a Memorial in Poland creating a photo essay giving an insight into the horrors which occurred there. On returning to Ireland after a recent trip to the camps they met and photographed Holocaust Survivors Suzi Diamond and Tomi Reichental who live in Dublin, these portraits will be on display for Culture Night along with photographs of the first ‘Stolpersteine’ memorial stones to be unveiled in Ireland remembering six Irish Jews murdered by the Nazi regime. These stones, recently laid by Holocaust Education Ireland, in Dublin form part of the biggest decentralised memorial in the world which includes over 70,000 stones in thirty countries.
