Yesterday saw a tree planting for #HolocaustMemorialDay @TheAJR_ in Ilfracombe in memory of George Rosney who served in the Pioneer Corps there in WW2. It’s a tribute to all his fellow refugees who served with him @robinlustig @MDS347 @joshklustig @DrCWeissenberg @ilfmuseum
For #HMD2022 a tree will be planted today in Ilfracombe in memory of this man, George Rosney, who fled Germany in 1939 and served here in the Pioneer Corps @TheAJR_ @DrHelenFry #LightTheDarkness #devonmuseums #Refugees #secondworldwar
International star and prima ballerina Hanne Musch who found refuge in Ilfracombe with the Pioneer Corps during WW2. She appeared on stage here and even ran a dance school @DrHelenFry #HMD2022 #Jewishhistory #devonmuseums
Pioneer Corps in Ilfracombe in 1940 featured many Jewish musicians and artists who had fled Nazi Germany. Their performances raised money for our local hospital and enriched Ilfracombe society @DrHelenFry #jewishhistory #HMD2022 #refugeeswelcome #devonmuseums

putting away a favourite 🥰 - this pot from Iquitos Peru was brought to Ilfracombe by our founder Mervyn Palmer. We think the decoration is shipibo- any thoughts? 🤔#southamerica #iquitos #ceramics #shipibo #museumcollection #ilfracombe
