The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) gathered as part of National Volunteer Week to thank more than 250 supporters who give up their time to help Holocaust survivors and refugees across the UK tell their stories. The AJRs My Story project recounts the histories of Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors through the production of individual life story books to be kept as treasured memories and tools for reminiscence and to raise awareness about the Holocaust and Nazi oppression. The AJR Volunteers department oversees the network of supporters who provide on the ground assistance from playing cards and games, going for walks, helping with their tablet or computer, to a weekly chat and cup of tea.
