SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Carole Angier in conversation with Philippe Sands
DESCRIPTION:The Library is delighted to host a hybrid book talk with Carole Angier in conversation with Philippe Sands on Angier’s new book\, Speak\, Silence: In Search of WG Sebald as part of our new academic book event series. \nW. G. Sebald was one of the most extraordinary and influential writers of the twentieth century. Through books including The Emigrants\, Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn\, he pursued an original literary vision that combined fiction\, history\, autobiography and photography\, addressing some of the most profound themes of contemporary literature: the burden of the Holocaust\, memory\, loss and exile. \nThe first biography to explore his life and work\, Speak\, Silence pursues the true Sebald through the memories of those who knew him and through the work he left behind. This quest takes Carole Angier from Sebald’s birth as a second-generation German at the end of the Second World War\, through his rejection of the poisoned inheritance of the Third Reich\, to his emigration to England\, exploring the choice of isolation and exile that drove his work. It digs deep into a creative mind on the edge\, finding profound empathy and paradoxical ruthlessness\, saving humour\, and an elusive mix of fact and fiction in his life as well as work. The result is a unique\, ferociously original portrait. \nAbout the speakers \nCarole Angier is the author of Jean Rhys: Life & Work (shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize) and The Double Bond: A Life of Primo Levi. She was educated at the universities of McGill\, Oxford and Cambridge. She taught academic and life writing for many years and has edited several books of refugee writing. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. \nPhilippe Sands is Professor of public understanding of Law at University College London\, and Samuel and Judith Pisar Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. He is President of English PEN and on the board of the Hay Festival of Arts and Literature. Author of many books\, including East West Street (2016) and The Ratline (2020)\, Philippe is an occasional contributor to many publications\, including The Guardian\, Financial Times and New York Times\, and appears regularly on the BBC and CNN. His next book\, The Last Colony\, will be published in September 2022. \nIf you are joining online: \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk: We Fight Fascists: The 43 Group and their Forgotten Battle for Post-War Britain
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Library’s Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today exhibition series. \nIn this event\, Daniel Sonabend\, historian and author of We Fight Fascists: The 43 Group and their Forgotten Battle for Post-War Britain\, will tell the story of the militant Jewish anti-fascist organisation the 43 Group. \nIn the immediate aftermath of the Second World War\, Britain’s fascists\, led from the shadows by the pre-war fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley\, sought to resurrect fascism in Britain. As part of this work\, they began holding outdoor meetings on street corners around London\, often focusing on areas with large Jewish populations. London’s Jews came under attack once again\, as many were harassed by gangs of fascists and Jewish properties were attacked and vandalised. Outraged that the British state was allowing this to happen and the Jewish establishment was barely kicking up a fuss\, Jewish veterans who had just returned from fighting Nazism on the continent realised that their days of fighting were not yet at an end. In 1946 they formed the 43 Group of Jewish Ex-Servicemen\, an organisation dedicated to active and direct confrontation with Britain’s fascists and anti-Semites. For the rest of the decade\, they waged an often bloody street war against Britain’s fascists\, taking the fight to them wherever they were and eventually beating them off the streets and back into the shadows. \nThe 43 Group was the first organization of its kind in Britain and theirs is a fascinating story full of character\, drama\, and indomitable spirit\, which Sonabend brings to life in his talk using photographs and interview footage of veterans of the Group. \nIf you are joining us online: \nEvent guidelines: \n1.
