Jane Haining - a talk by Rob O'Brien

To mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2021, Larne Museum & Arts Centre presented a talk by local man Rob O'Brien. The theme was 'Be the light in the darkness'.

In January 2019, Larne Museum & Arts Centre welcomed Rob O’Brien, along with other family members, who gave a talk about his aunt, Jane Haining. Jane, a Church of Scotland missionary, was working in Budapest when she was arrested by the Nazis in 1944. She died in Auschwitz later that same year. Jane Haining is the only Scot to be officially honoured for giving her life to help Jews in the Holocaust.
