A SUTTON man is helping to organise an exhibition about the suffering of deaf and disabled people in Nazi Germany.
The Disability and the Holocaust: We Shall Not Forget event will take place at the Holocaust Centre at Laxton, near Ollerton, on 11th May.
Members of the Nottinghamshire Disabled People's Movement will join other deaf and disabled people and plans for the UK's first memorial sculpture to acknowledge this history will also be unveiled.
Twenty-three-year-old John Geoghegan, who is from Sutton, said: "We have worked with a group of people, some of whom are disabled and some who are not disabled, to put this together to remember those who suffered."
The event, which is free and open to everyone, is supported with funding from Museums and Galleries Month.
