250 attend Holocaust events

A Moyle Council report said; ‘The Good Relations Office and The Arts Programme joined forces to present Red Card Theatre in their play, Denial, to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, 26 to 28 January.

‘Red Card Theatre company wrote the play after a visit to Auschwitz some years back and showed the lives of a Holocaust survivor juxtaposed with the modern day lives of people who still carried the intolerance and prejudice of Nazi Germany.

‘Performances in Cushendall, Ballycastle and Bushmills were followed by thought-provoking and stimulating discussion with the audience. ‘The performances were attended by 250 people in total, including community groups, schools groups and members of the general public, and were well received in all venues,’ said the Council report.
