Our Visit to Charlie Chaplin's World, Geneva

Gemma on our way into Chaplin's World, Geneva

While in Geneva for Holocaust Memorial Day 2018, Gemma and I had the chance to visit Charlie Chaplin's family home which was recently turned into a museum called Charlie Chaplin World. We loved it and felt we had really been invited into his personal life. I found the experience very moving. What a lovely man he was. Here is a selection of photos of our day in Charlie Chaplin's World. www.chaplinsworld.com

The recreation of this scene from The Great Dictator was directly relevant to the
