Chichester: Holocaust Memorial day marked by Carl Davis opera

A woman from West Sussex who lost 50 relatives in the Holocaust has spoken of how a visit to the site of a concentration camp “damaged me psychologically”.

Clare Apel, of Chichester District Council, leads the Chichester Marks Holocaust Memorial Day group, which is hosting three performances of opera The Last Train to Tomorrow at the Minerva Theatre on Monday and Tuesday.

Local children will join the performance, telling the story of the Kindertransport rescue trains, which brought 10,000 Jewish children to London.

Ms Apel told BBC Radio Sussex that her cousin was one of those children saved by the Kindertransport.
