In this virtual doctoral seminar, Mark Frankel will talk about two episodes in the Quaker politician T. Edmund Harvey's career: his intervention on behalf of political prisoners in the occupied Ruhr in 1923, and his part in the Quakers’ collective response to the Munich Agreement of 1938.

On 27 June 1941, the Wehrmact captured the Soviet-occupied Polish city of Białystok and murdered 2,000 Jews. In this virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea presentation, Jake Holliday will draw upon official records, survivors’ accounts and post-war criminal trial papers to try and understand what happened in Białystok that day.
