Portraits for Posterity

Portraits for Posterity aims to create memorable photographic portraits of individuals who, having survived the Nazi Holocaust, went on to create new lives in Britain. Its objective is to celebrate those individuals’ achievements as a permanent memorial that, by producing portraits of a few, will serve also to commemorate the millions who perished and cannot therefore be recorded for posterity. More than 80 survivors, from London, Leeds, Manchester and Brighton, have been photographed. The LJCC exhibition includes a selection of portraits of London survivors, accompanied by short biographies.
