This event is organised as part of B’nai B’rith’s European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage.

Join us for an overview of the history of the Wiener Holocaust Library, one of the world’s leading and most extensive archives on the Holocaust, the Nazi era and genocide. The Library hosts a unique collection of over one million items including published and unpublished works, press cuttings, photographs and eyewitness testimony.

This talk will bring to life poignant refugee family stories from the Library’s rich collection. We will trace these families’ journeys through an exploration of historical documents and Survivors’ family archives. Don’t miss this enlightening opportunity to uncover the powerful narratives preserved within the Wiener Holocaust Library.
