SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: In the archive with Lotte Eisner: how she solved the problem of ‘Maria’ (the robot)
DESCRIPTION:Lotte Eisner and a model of ‘Maria’ from Metropolis (Fritz Lang\, 1927) in the museum of the Cinémathèque française. Courtesy of Mark Horowitz. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nThis talk is about visibility in the archive and its consequences. The focus is Lotte H Eisner\, well known as a film historian and author of three major retrospective studies of Weimar cinema: The Haunted Screen (1952)\, FW Murnau (1964) and Fritz Lang (1974). From 1945 she was also Chief Curator at the Cinémathèque Française and during her 30-year career there as a collector and archivist\, created and built a magnificent archive of material film culture including items such as scripts\, sets\, technical equipment\, costumes\, models\, posters and books. However\, this important work has tended to be overlooked by film historians and\, in some cases\, wrongly documented. Using examples of Eisner’s collecting and curation\, this talk will reveal how a lack of classification in the archive can lead to historiographical confusion and eventually invisibility. \nAbout the speaker: \nJulia Eisner is working on a PhD about her great-aunt the film historian\, writer and curator\, Lotte H Eisner\, at King’s College\, University of London. Prior to her PhD project\, Julia was a BBC Radio 4 reporter and producer for 20 years making features and documentaries. She then changed career and took an LLB and an LLM at Birkbeck\, the University of London where she taught in the Law faculty and worked as a research assistant on a European Law Project. In January 2016 Julia left Birkbeck to concentrate on researching and writing. In November 2016\, her programme The Vigil was broadcast on BBC Radio 4. \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Textbook portrayals of Britain and the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Jewish refugees take a class at the Schlachtensee Displaced Persons camp\, c. 1946-1948. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nThe British response to the Holocaust – both at the time and in retrospect – was extremely context. It ranged from stories of rescue\, such as the Kindertransport\, to examples of obstruction and antisemitism. \nThis presentation will explore how this intricate relationship has been depicted in a sample set of history textbooks designed for use in schools. Drawing upon source material from a range of dates and authors\, this presentation will give a taste of some key research findings. Notably\, although the British response was not always glorified in textbooks\, it was rare to find depictions of the relationship which offered a truly nuanced interpretation of the issue. \nAbout the speaker: \nDaniel Adamson is a PhD student in the History Department of Durham University. His research centres on educational portrayals of the relationship between Britain and the Holocaust. Daniel holds an MA in History from the University of Cambridge\, an MA in History Education from UCL\, and is also a PGCE-qualified former teacher. \nEvent guidelines: \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.
