SUMMARY:Exhibition Launch: 'IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS'  a daughter’s response to her father’s silence\, with Learning from the Righteous and Finchley Reform Synagogue
DESCRIPTION:Within weeks of the Anschluss\, Wilhelm Pollak (Bill Powell)\, was arrested and spent the following ten months in Dachau and Buchenwald. After arriving in the UK in May ’39\, he spent a year interned in Canada and eventually returned to Britain to join the Pioneer Corp\, unable to speak about his camp experiences; a silence he kept for the rest of his life. After his death\, his daughter\, the ceramicist Jenny Stolzenberg\, created an instalment of shoes in his memory – describing it as “the conversation they were never able to have; a creative response to his silence”. Before her untimely death\, in 2016\, Jenny’s work was exhibited widely\, and to high acclaim\, including at the Imperial War Museum and Buchenwald Museum. \nBy researching previously neglected diaries and letters held at the Wiener Library\, and accessing numerous documents held in archives across the world\, Antony Lishak\, CEO of the Holocaust education charity Learning from the Righteous has been able to construct a comprehensive account of what happened to Wilhelm\, and the family he left behind in Vienna. During the evening he will talk about how these discoveries add extra poignancy to Jenny’s evocative memorial\, and explain her father’s silence. \nLearning from the Righteous and Finchley Reform Synagogue’s HMD Group are honoured to help fulfil Jenny’s family’s wish that her work continues to provoke reflection. They are delighted that the new IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS travelling exhibition will enable schools\, colleges and communal spaces to display these remarkable shoes\, each bearing witness to a life cut short. We are grateful for the support of The Association of Jewish Refugees and the Austrian Cultural Forum in staging this event. \nJoin us for the launch of the exhibition at The Wiener Holocaust Library \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Holocaust Memorial Day 2024: An evening of remembrance with The Wiener Holocaust Library\, Camden Council\, JW3 and the Jewish Museum London
DESCRIPTION:A Holocaust Memorial Day event with Camden Council\, JW3 and the Jewish Museum London. \nThis evening event is organised in response to the 2024 Holocaust Memorial Day theme: ‘the fragility of freedom’ which invites us to consider the erosion of freedom by perpetrator regimes\, including key rights such as freedom as expression\, of religion and of movement. \nIt will feature readings of eyewitness testimonies held in our archive by the Leader of Camden Council\, the Mayor of Camden and Youth MPs. The testimonies explore the lives of Betty Lewin and her experience as a Jewish refugee in the Netherlands\, Lutz Hammer and his experiences in Sachsenhausen and Auschwitz-Birkenau camps\, and Hermione Horvath and her persecution as an Austrian Sinti woman. \nThere will also be an exploration of the history of the Wiener Holocaust Library by our Senior Curator Dr Barbara Warnock. Rabbi Eli Levin of South Hampstead Synagogue will lead a prayer. \nMore details of speakers will be announced soon. \n

Margarete and Alfred Wiener are on the far left. \nThe world’s largest decentralised memorial art installation\, the Stolperstein (stumbling stone) project has placed over 105\,000 stones in 30 countries. Created by German artist Gunter Demnig 25 years ago\, these small concrete cubes bearing a brass plate are placed in the pavement in front of the homes or places of work of victims of Nazi persecution. \nThe stones to be installed in Amsterdam commemorate Dr Margarete Wiener-Saulmann\, Kurt Zielenziger\, and Bernhard Krieg.
