Echo Eternal Project
What is Echo Eternal?
Echo Eternal is a commemorative arts, media and civic engagement project, that has seen schools gifted one of the 112 UK Holocaust survivor’s stories filmed by Natasha Kaplinsky for the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation. Launched in Birmingham on Holocaust Memorial Day January 2018, 14 schools have worked with artists to create ‘echoes’ to ensure that these stories are forever remembered. Echo Eternal will run for a further 2 years across the West Midlands before being launched in London Schools in 2021 ahead of the new national Holocaust memorial being built in the gardens of parliament.
Parkgate's gifted 'Echo' was Judith Kerr.
