Collect, Preserve, Share

On the last weekend of October 1938, 25,000 Jews with Polish passports were arrested, rounded up and deported by train to the Polish border. This exhibition marks the 85th anniversary of the expulsion.

The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2023 is now live. This year we aim to raise £45,000 support us to continue to be a world-leading Holocaust archive, offering valuable resources for education, ground-breaking research, and vital public engagement.

In this first biography, Thomas Harding provides a full, unvarnished and at times difficult history of a complex and fascinating character. Throughout his long career, George Weidenfeld was written about in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Vanity Fair and other publications. Was he, as described by some, the ‘greatest salesperson’, ‘the world’s best networker’, ‘the publisher’s publisher’ and ‘a great intellectual’?

The Ładoś operation was one of the largest rescue missions of the Holocaust, and The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time. The author, Roger Moorhouse, will give a short talk about this remarkable book which follows the desperate bids of Jews to obtain life-saving documents, and their painful uncertainty over whether they will be able to escape the murderous machinery of the Holocaust.

Jews had long been active in the clothing trade in Europe, developing new production and retail methods and excelling as designers. However, in the UK clothes production was mostly conservative and design was not a concept. What happened to these Jews in the clothing industry after the Nazis came to power in 1933, bent on ridding Germany of Jews?
