The paintings are an attempt at interpreting, through the eyes of an impressionable young girl, what it felt like to be a human being in that bizarre world.

The exhibition marks the start of a series of events in Hereford remembering the Holocaust.

Other events include The Anne Frank Exhibition at Hereford Cathedral, and a production of The Diary Of Anne Frank at The Courtyard.

Memories Of The Holocaust is at The Courtyard Gallery from Friday 12th to Saturday 27th of September.

The arts centre is open from Monday to Saturday from 10.00am until 11.00pm and entry is free.
