Postponed Virtual Lunchtime Exhibition Talk: Jane Haining’s Letter from Auschwitz and the Foundation of a Christo-centric Myth, Dr Alex Sessa
This lecture examines Jane Haining through a microhistory approach. Haining was a Scottish missionary who worked among Christian and Jewish girls in Budapest, with the intention of bringing Jews into the Christian church. The chief conversionary tactic was to lead a ‘Christian example’. Dr Alex Sessa completed his PhD in Holocaust Studies at the University of Southampton under the supervision of Professor Tony Kushner.
