AN expert on the Holocaust will give a talk before the screening of an emotional documentary on Thursday night.
The Oscar-winning film Into The Arms of Stranger will be shown this afternoon and on Thursday at The Arc, in Stockton, Teesside.
The documentary follows a number of Jewish children who left Hitler's pre-war Germany and Nazi-occupied Austria and Czechoslovakia under the Kindertransport scheme. The children were separated from their parents and fostered into homes all over the country.
On Thursday, as a prelude to the film, Naomi Shaw will give a talk about Kindertransport and after the show there will be a discussion with the audience.
Ms Shaw is Jewish and teaches at Abbey Hill Technology College, in Stockton.
She is in contact with many survivors of the Holocaust and has recently visited Auschwitz, in Poland, the site of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps.
The show starts at 1pm today, and at 7.30pm on Thursday. The talk will start at 7.15pm on Thursday. Tickets are £3 or £2 today, and £4 or £3 on Thursday.
To tie-in with the film there will be an exhibition of personal stories and photographs from the Holocaust at the Arc all week.
