A dark chapter in the story of a tiny British island is to be depicted in a reproduction of a Nazi execution site created by an artist whose work explores the impact of destruction and violence.
Piers Secunda has taken a mould of a bullet-damaged wall, part of a Victorian fort on Alderney, one of the Channel Islands, from which he will make a cast to be exhibited in London next month.
This week, Secunda will tell the story of the wall and forensic examination by US experts that supports his conclusion that it was the site of executions carried out by German soldiers who occupied the Channel Islands during the second world war.
