Milim literary festival is back for a fourth year with its biggest programme yet. There will be something for everyone with a diverse range of events covering topics including politics, television, the arts, history and modern fiction.

The 2019 winter season began with a Holocaust Memorial Day event, Portrait of a Composer, where a new dramatisation written by Brian Daniels and directed by Emma Gordon retold the story of Gideon Klein who died in Auschwitz in 1946 on the centenary of his birth.

Looking ahead, on 28th February, The Grammar School at Leeds will host Tim Marshall, former diplomatic editor of Sky News as he discusses his 2018 bestseller, Divided: Why We’re Living in an Age of Walls. From Trump’s wall on the Mexican border to the Great Firewall of China, Tim provides an insight into the divisions that are shaping our world.

The ever-popular Poetry Café will return as Emma Gordon and Nicola Hipps present an informal inter-generational evening of poetry and prose at The Lounge on 5th March with performances by some of the their students.
