Please join us virtually to attend a special evening in honour of Dr Agnes kaposi, MBE, FREng, celebrated engineer and survivor of the Holocaust, to mark her family’s generous donation of their family’s document and book collection to the Wiener Holocaust Library.

The evening will feature Dr Kaposi in conversation with Library Director, Dr Toby Simpson, as well as a panel discussion including Professor Tim Cole (University of Bristol), Dr Borbala Klacsman (University College Dublin), and Dr Chris Gilley (Wiener Holocaust Library).
