Using photographs and audio-visual displays, the visitor is asked to think about how they see others and deal with situations of conflict. Speaking to BBC Somerset Sound, Reverend Bruce Thompson, the Methodist Minister responsible for bringing the exhibition to Taunton, said: "Racism is endemic throughout the country, indeed the world, and Somerset is not immune."
The event is specifically designed to appeal to young people and so far over 4,000 children from 68 schools have already been booked in to visit the exhibition. A large number of other groups and individuals are also expected to attend.

The exhibition was opened by Saranda Bogujevci, a 20-year-old Kosovan-Albanian. Fourteen members of her family were massacred in Kosovo in 1999, when she was just 13 years old. Saranda became one of the first children to testify in a war crimes tribunal, which helped bring her family's killers to justice. Although the Holocaust was over 60 years ago, it is alarmingly recent stories like Saranda's that remind us of the importance of continuing education and social change.
"Tony Blair recently said that the Holocaust did not begin with gas chambers, it began with broken windows," said Rev Thompson. "We know that windows are being broken in our own community and elsewhere because people are different. "It's vital to understand that the Holocaust began step by step." The exhibition is free to enter and continues until 30 March. You can find more details by following the link above. |
