Our Sunday after next meeting in the JGSGB Programme is an outside visit in person (!).
![]()
• Date: Sunday April 3rd 2022
• Time: 15:00 London
• Venue: Imperial War Museum (IWM), Holocaust Galleries
• Address: Lambeth Road, London, SE1 6HZ
• How to get there: IWM London is a short walk from Lambeth North (7 minutes), Elephant & Castle (10 minutes) Underground stations or Waterloo National Rail stations (14 minutes), and is served by the 344 and 360 bus routes, as well as the 59 and 159. The C6 Cycleway runs past the museum from Elephant & Castle. At present there is limited parking around the museum.
• Description: The Holocaust Galleries at IWM London offer an account of the events that came to be known as the Holocaust and tell the personal stories of some of the six million Jewish people who were murdered. How did persecution turn to mass extermination? Drawing on a rich collection of objects, from a teddy bear taken on the Kindertransport, through to the typewriter used to type the lists that sent thousands to their deaths, this guided headset tour looks at the origins and implementation of the ‘Final Solution’ and some of the stories of the men, women and children caught up in these terrible events.
• Essential
• (1) RSVP to Anita Benson at anita.benson@virgin.net
• (2) Book a ticket at: https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-london
• Note: During busy periods, we cannot guarantee access to the new Second World War and The Holocaust Galleries, even if you have prebooked a general admission ticket. You may have to collect a timed ticket from the info desk on level 0 to enter the new galleries. (We will hope for the best - it may be that we will all be asked to wait together for a bit before going in but that should be OK.)
• Also Note: The IWM recommend that visitors wear masks indoors where possible, especially in crowded areas and enclosed spaces
