The Holocaust

The Imperial War Museum's ground-breaking new Second World War and Holocaust Galleries will open in October 2021, and see the IWM as the first museum in the world to intellectually present the Holocaust narrative within the context of the Second World War. Personal stories will be at the heart of the new galleries, along with a breadth of objects and original material that will help audiences consider the cause, course and consequences of this seminal period in world history. This accompanying publication by Lead Historian James Bulgin features a wealth of archival material including emotive objects and unique personal testimonies, examining how the course of the Second World War as well as ideology and individual decision making were all critical factors in the execution of The Holocaust.
