SUMMARY:Exhibition Launch: Remembering The Kitchener Camp
DESCRIPTION:Residents of the Kitchener Camp\, 1939. \nJoin us for a talk and reception to mark the launch of the Leave to Land: The Kitchener Camp Rescue\, 1939 travelling exhibition at the Library. Leave to Land was authored by Clare Weissenberg and was based on materials collected through The Kitchener Camp Project\, a unique online resource that brings together archival records and family treasures to build a moving and compelling picture of this unlikely sanctuary. \nAntony Lishak\, chief executive of Holocaust Education charity Learning from the Righteous\, will explore the significance of this remarkable act of humanitarianism. Drawing extensively from the Kitchener Camp archives held at the Library\, he will show that\, far from being a mere footnote\, Kitchener Camp’s connections to the likes of Adolf Eichmann\, Benjamin Murmelstein\, Oswald Moseley and Lord Winterton of Evian fame\, intrinsically link it to the wider Holocaust narrative. \nAlmost 4\,000 Jews found sanctuary at the Kitchener Camp\, in a quiet corner of the Kent coast\, during 1939. Conceived of and funded by activists within the Jewish community and beyond\, it was set up as a transit camp for refugees with visas for third-party countries. Sadly\, the scheme was destined to be short-lived. Yet\, for the year or so it was operational\, the foundations of thousands of futures were laid\, and the local population of sleepy Sandwich\, which had doubled in a handful of months\, extended an overwhelmingly warm welcome to their foreign guests. Its enduring legacy can be found in the contribution made by the new citizens of this country\, and their future generations. \nAbout Learning from the Righteous \nBy teaching about the events of the Holocaust through the lens of the bystander\, Learning from the Righteous works with students and teachers to highlight its contemporary relevance. \n  \nWe regret to inform visitors that our exterior lift is currently out of service. This is due to ongoing repair works and we apologise for the inconvenience. If you have any comments\, questions\, or concerns regarding accessibility at the Library\, please email us at info@wienerholocaustlibrary.org or call us on +44 (0) 20 7636 7247.
