Noreen Plen tells the stories of how her Polish-born parents survived the Holocaust. Her father barely survived the hard labour camps in Siberia and her mother escaped with her sister from the Warsaw Ghetto and took on the persona of a Polish catholic girl to survive.
Through photos and voice recordings, their daughter, Noreen, tells of their courage and resilience; how they succeeded in building a happy life in England, but never forgot the loss of their dear parents, Noreen’s grandparents.

Three generations, two stories, one shared responsibility to speak out.
To mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Generation 2 Generation, René Cassin and Stop Uyghur Genocide are hosting an evening of conversation between generations and between experiences of persecution, the Holocaust and the Uyghur Genocide*. By sharing these stories and reflections we hope to highlight the moral authority, and with it the moral responsibility we have to act today, so that future generations never again have to experience the same atrocities committed against the Jews and Uyghurs.
Father and daughter Kerim and Dilnaz will be in conversation with grandfather and granddaughter Steven Frank and Maggie Fleet, facilitated by Richard Greene, Director of Content for CNN.
