The Nuremberg and Eichmann trials were seminal in bringing the full horrors of Nazi atrocities to the world; 2026 marks the 80th and 65th anniversaries of their verdicts. To mark this, the educational charity Learning from the Righteous and The Association of Jewish Refugees are staging 'Voices of Justice'. Rather than focus on the defendants, the event will highlight the courageous eyewitnesses who gave voice to the victims. Extracts from their testimony, read by students from The German School of London and the Jewish Community Secondary School, will narrate a carefully selected programme of music designed to reflect the pan-European nature of the Holocaust.
Music will be performed by members of Ensemble 360 with special guests, including student-musicians from the schools and narrator Tim Franks.
This is the fourth annual commemorative concert that Wigmore Hall has hosted for Learning from the Righteous and the Association of Jewish Refugees. We are honoured to be part of the venue’s proud tradition of support for the capital’s Jewish refugees and their descendants, which started in the immediate post-war era.
