Thank you to Bury Libraries for showcasing their My Voice Holocaust Survivor Storyteller collection.
Every Bury Library has a set of the My Voice books which are available to all Bury residents to borrow and read.
Many of the life story books are of Survivors who settled in Greater Manchester and contributed greatly to making Manchester the great city it is.
We encourage everyone to read the My Voice books to learn about these incredible Survivors and bear witness to the Holocaust.

Today is #HolocaustMemorial Day. 🕯️
We are proud to host the My Voice project at Bury Libraries - a powerful collection of life stories from Holocaust survivors and refugees.
These books are now available to borrow from our libraries.
