Anita Peleg visited Hornsey Library to view a magnificent candleholder created in honor of Holocaust survivor Naomi Blake, contributing to the '80 Candles for 80 Years' project. This marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Naomi Blake, a former refugee, lost many family members in the Holocaust and advocated for understanding through her art. The candleholder serves as a tribute and educational tool, with accompanying displays of Naomi's life. Haringey Libraries are encouraging community engagement to combat bigotry and hatred through remembrance activities.
The candleholder created to honour Naomi Blake represents both her experiences as a Holocaust survivor and the greater struggle for understanding among faiths.
Naomi Blake, who lost her family to the Holocaust, dedicated her life to promoting understanding through art, leaving a legacy of hope.
In commemorating the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, Haringey Libraries highlights the importance of education in preventing hatred and bigotry.
The tribute at Hornsey Library not only honors Naomi Blake but serves as an educational tool for future generations about the Holocaust.
