SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: 'Talking with Images': Private Photographs from the Imperial War Museums
DESCRIPTION:Photographs from the Neumeyers’s family archive\, speaker’s own. \nPart of our PhD and a Cup of Tea Seminar Series. \nUsing Ruth Locke’s Private Photographs from the Imperial War Museums Photograph Archive to Explore the Family’s Experiences and Intergenerational Memories. \nAlice will be examining photographs from the private collection of Ruth Locke. Ruth (née Neumeyer) and her younger brother Raimund came to England from Germany in May 1938 on the Kindertransport. They were accompanied by two photograph albums capturing their childhood in Dachau. The photographs reflect the family’s affiliation with the Lebensreform (Life Reform) movement\, their appreciation of nature\, the arts and culture. Alice will draw on oral history interviews with Ruth’s two sons and the blog they produced on their family history. Alice will examine the challenges and opportunities of looking at private photographs and oral testimony as sources to understand how German-Jewish children made sense of their life in Germany in the 1930s\, emigration to the UK\, and familial separation and loss. She will also examine how these memories were passed across generations.   \nAbout the speaker\nAlice Tofts is final year collaborative doctoral programme student with Imperial War Museums and the University of Nottingham. She holds a BA in History and French from the University of Nottingham and a Masters in Museum Studies from University College London. Her research focuses on the Imperial War Museums’ collection of photographs from private collections of Holocaust survivors. Her research explores the myriad role of private photographs in both the familial and museum sphere: as historical objects\, material and social objects\, objects of enquiry\, and memory objects. Her approach is multidisciplinary and draws on theory and methods from oral history\, anthropology\, visual culture\, memory studies and museology.

SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: What is Jewish Photography?
DESCRIPTION:The Salzmann family from Berlin\, on holiday in 1937. Ruth Salzmann Becker papers\, courtesy of the Iowa Women’s Archives\, University of Iowa Libraries. \nThrough whose eyes are we seeing the past? When it comes to the history of the Holocaust\, we often rely on perpetrator photos. To counter-balance this biased gaze\, we need to draw on Jewish photos: photos celebrating Jewish lives before 1933\, but also photos documenting lives marred by exclusion and persecution\, and photos of Jewish flight\, migration\, and lives re-built beyond Europe. \nBut what makes a photo Jewish? Is it just a question of who held the camera? A photographer is rarely in sole control: those acting in front of the camera co-create the photos; pictorial conventions are at play; and\, crucially\, a photo’s meaning also takes shape through its subsequent uses. \nThis talk takes a fresh look at a sample of ‘Jewish’ photos\, asks how we can interpret them\, and explores ways in which they might reveal aspects of Jewish experiences on which other sources remain silent. \nAbout the speaker:\nMaiken Umbach is Professor of Modern History at the University of Nottingham\, and currently seconded as chief academic advisor to the UK’s National Holocaust Centre and Museum. Maiken directs a multi-disciplinary research project on “Photography as Political Practice in National Socialism”\, and has published widely on photography\, Nazism and the Holocaust; recent books include “Photography\, Migration\, and Identity: A German-Jewish-American Story” (with Scott Sulzener\, 2018)\, and “Private Life and Privacy in Nazi Germany (with Elizabeth Harvey\, Johannes Hürter\, Aandreas Wirsching\, 2019). \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders. \n2.
