Close to Home

Close to Home is a revised series, from an original project in Lithuania and Poland with the Imperial War Museum Holocaust Fellowship Programme. The images from the trip have been used in Holocaust learning resources, with the Institute of Education and Imperial War Museums. This series explores the Holocaust whilst focussing on everyday lives, places that remain and empty spaces where things used to be. The work focusses on details and searches for meaning.

How it was possible – not long ago, and not far away – that so many people became complicit in the murder of their neighbours, and that the outside world did so little to prevent it. Paul Salmons
