SUMMARY:Book talk: Andrea Hammel\, The Kindertransport: what really happened
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed\, watch the recording via the Library’s YouTube channel. \nJoin The Wiener Holocaust Library to mark the publication of Andrea Hammel’s important new book on the Kindertransport child rescue scheme\, based on extensive new research. \nThe first train of the Kindertransport 1938/39 arrived in the UK almost exactly 85 years ago. The scheme has long been celebrated as a British humanitarian success and is known to the wider British public. But research has shown that the circumstances of the scheme and its implementation were complex and not always motivated by altruism. Children were separated from their parents; the scheme lacked governmental support; it relied on the enthusiasm of private citizens and struggling charities. \nIn this talk Andrea Hammel will show what really happened using her research into governmental and organisational records as well as oral testimonies and ego documents. \nAbout the speaker\nAndrea Hammel is Professor of German and the Director of the Centre for the Movement of People at Aberystwyth University. She has researched refugees from National Socialism who fled to the UK for over 20 years. She led a project on Refugees from National Socialism in Wales: Learning from the Past for the Future which involved co-curators who are refugees from Syria\, Afghanistan and Kuwait resulting in an exhibition which has been showing at Aberystwyth\, the Senedd\, the Houses of Parliament and in Bangor (see also: Finding Refuge: Stories of the men women and children who fled to Wales to escape the Nazis\, 2022) . Andrea Hammel has co-written two reports on Adverse Childhood Experiences and Child Refugees of the 1930s which were presented to the Welsh Government.
