People and place
On Monday June 7th, we discovered an exibition called ‘People Make Jersey’ at the Jersey Museum. This exibitionn explores the history of Inmigration who has influenced and changed jersey. And explores why people have moved in the island over the centuries. We learned about religious persecution and that due to Jersey’s geographical proximity to France, Jersey has provided a refuge and a place of safety for like French catholiques in the 19 century. We discovered that during periods of political appival Victor Hugo and other immigrates across Europe find a refuge in the island during the 19 century. We also learned about economic migration, that people have come to the island to have a better life for their families. They showed us legacy we can see in the island. We saw testimonies from inmigrants.
