The Cape Town Holocaust Centre will be holding an Exhibition Opening and Awards Evening for its annual White Rose Art & Writing Competition: Resisting Injustice.
The White Rose Competition – for high school learners in the greater Cape Town area – aims to encourage a greater understanding for the need to protect human rights, and an awareness of injustice in this country and globally. The Competition takes its name from a group of German university students who resisted Nazi oppression.
Participants were required to research acts of resistance against the Nazis, and to consider what relevance this has for South Africans in 2014.
High school learners from across the Western Cape have submitted art and writing pieces responding to the history of the Holocaust, and specifically, to resisting injustice.
OPENING: Thursday 14 August 18:00 to end August 2014
WHERE: Cape Town Holocaust Centre, 88 Hatfield St, Gardens, Cape Town 8001
