SUMMARY:Book Launch and Talk: Dictatorship and Daily Life in 20th-Century Europe\, Dr Lisa Pine
DESCRIPTION:Edited by Dr Lisa Pine and bringing together leading scholars from across the UK\, North America and mainland Europe\, this book provides a uniquely comparative exploration of daily life under dictatorship in 20th-century Europe. \nWith coverage of well-known regimes and some that are relatively underrepresented in the literature from right across the continent\, it examines the impact felt on people’s lives amidst political administrations characterised by some or all of the following: a one-party state\, in which opposition or multiple parties were banned; a cult surrounding the leader; the censorship of the press and other publications; the widespread use of propaganda and political persuasion; and the threat or use of force by the regime and its agents. \nThe chapters investigate crucial questions in relation to life under dictatorships as follows: What was the impact of censorship on access to news or entertainment? How was leisure time conducted? What was the impact of the regime on working life? What was the scope for dissent and resistance? To what extent were these possible? How much did the regime coerce the population and how much did it try to indoctrinate? What was the difference for Party leaders\, comrades and members in terms of the possibilities and opportunities that opened up\, compared to everyone else in society? With the shutting down – to a large extent – of civil society and state intrusion into private life\, what restrictions were placed on ordinary and day-to-day activities? What happened to religious life and to cultural life and the arts? How were personal choices in aspects of life such as reproduction\, education and even eating affected by these regimes? What was the impact of different political ideologies on people’s way of life – whether Fascist\, Nazi or Communist? Dictatorship and Daily Life in 20th-Century Europe addresses these issues and more\, striking to the heart of European life in the darkest episodes of its recent history. \nAbout the speaker:\nLisa Pine is Associate Fellow of the Institute of Historical Research\, University of London\, UK. She is the author of Nazi Family Policy\, 1933-1945 (1997)\, Hitler’s “National Community”: Society and Culture in Nazi Germany (2007\, 2017)\, Education in Nazi Germany (2010) and Debating Genocide (2018). \nShe is the editor of Life and Times in Nazi Germany (2016)\, The Family in Modern Germany (2020) and Dictatorship and Daily Life in Twentieth-Century Europe (2022).

The essays explore the methods that have been used to try to counter antisemitism\, and the impact and significance of these. \nThe authors consider a range of moments in the struggle against antisemitism\, including the campaign to exonerate Alfred Dreyfus; the anti-Nazi work of Alfred Wiener and others in Germany and Holland inter-war; post-war anti-antisemitism and anti-fascist work in Britain\, including that of those engaged in direct action such as the 43 Group and The Wiener Library’s engagement in monitoring and analysing the Holocaust and antisemitism. The situation recent decades in Britain with respects to differing forms of antisemitism\, and the consequent evolution of the struggle against it\, is also examined. \nThis event is chaired by Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE\, and will feature contributions from some of the authors including Dave Rich and Daniel Sonabend.  \nAbout the speakers:  \nRabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE is Chair of University College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Chair of The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust.

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.

SUMMARY:Talk: Decoding Antisemitism: analysing content\, structure and frequency of antisemitism in online comments sections
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Decoding Antisemitism: An AI-driven Study on Hate Speech and Imagery Online project  \nWhat antisemitic reactions have been triggered online by recent news stories\, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, terrorist attacks in Israel\, or novelist Sally Rooney’s boycott of Israeli publishers? Which stereotypes and conspiracy theories are they fuelling? \nAntisemitic discourse on the internet provides insights into the present and future of an ideology of hate which\, due to its adaptability\, permeates all social milieus and is currently experiencing a new high – not least due to the specific character of online communication. Decoding Antisemitism: An AI-driven Study on Hate Speech and Imagery Online is a transnational and interdisciplinary research project analysing the content\, structure and frequency of antisemitism in online comments sections\, focusing on the mainstream media of selected European societies – the UK\, France and Germany. It is carried out by a research team at the Centre for Research on Antisemitism (ZfA\, TU Berlin) in collaboration with King’s College London. \nIn this talk\, the team present findings from their most recent Discourse Report\, which focuses on online antisemitic discourses triggered by two recent major international events: the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a series of terrorist attacks in Israel\, analysing the differences and similarities in the way web users reacted to these discourse triggers in the UK\, France and Germany. In addition\, we discuss four national case studies which drew our attention due to the number of antisemitic reactions they elicited: novelist Sally Rooney’s boycott of Israeli publishers in the UK\, the Pegasus spyware case in France\, and the controversies around singer Gil Ofarim and the documenta 15 art exhibition in Germany. \nAbout the speakers: \nDr Matthew Bolton is a researcher\, lecturer and writer focusing on conceptual history\, critical theory\, antisemitism and genocide studies. He received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Roehampton\, London in 2020\, with his thesis exploring the relationship between the development of the concept of justice and the capitalist state form. In 2018 his co-authored monograph on the ideological underpinnings of the Corbyn movement\, Corbynism: A Critical Approach\, was published by Emerald Books. His articles have been published in British Politics\, Political Quarterly\, the Journal of Contemporary Antisemitism\, and Fathom\, and his work has received widespread media coverage in the UK. \nKarolina Placzynta is a linguist and political scientist with a background in pragmatics\, sociolinguistics and critical discourse analysis\, having completed postgraduate degrees in Applied Linguistics and in Politics and International Studies. Her research centres on the mainstreaming and marginalisation of discourses in the media\, normalisation of bias\, and intersections of discriminatory discourses. She has previously examined the patterns of discursive representations of immigration in the British press\, and is a member of the DiscourseNet association.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: The Deportation and Persecution of Romanian Roma ando’Bugo (at the Bug River)
DESCRIPTION:Roma prisoners in a concentration camp in Transnistria. Source: Courtesy of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova \nThe Holocaust was “much more than a German affair” (Levene\, 4). While the Nazis carried out mass murder of specific ethnic groups\, Romania carried out an independent\, autonomous genocide of the Roma and Jews. Over the course of 1939 to 1945\, approximately 26\,000 Roma and 320\,000 Jews were deported under the Ion Antonescu regime to the Romanian-administered territory of Transnistria where more than 11\,000 Roma and 280\,000 Jews were victims of genocide. \nThis talk will examine the genocide of the Roma committed at the hands of the Romanian government and its actors. \nAbout the Speaker:\nCristina Teodora Stoica is a PhD candidate at Western University\, Canada. Her recent work examines the driving forces of antiziganism/ antigypsism/ antițiganism in Romania and the means to which they violently manifested in the state from the unification of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldova in 1859 to the end of the Second World War in 1945. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: How to Be a Refugee: Simon May in Conversation with Toby Simpson
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Institute for the History of the German Jews is delighted to co-host this event with Simon May\, author of How to be a Refugee: The Gripping True Story of How One Family Hid their Jewish Origins to Survive the Nazis. The most familiar fate of Jews living in Hitler’s Germany is either emigration or deportation to concentration camps. But there was another\, much rarer\, side to Jewish life at that time: denial of your origin to the point where you manage to erase almost all consciousness of it. You refuse to believe that you are Jewish. \nHow to Be a Refugee is Simon May’s gripping account of how three sisters – his mother and his two aunts – grappled with what they felt to be a lethal heritage. Their very different trajectories included conversion to Catholicism\, marriage into the German aristocracy\, securing ‘Aryan’ status with high-ranking help from inside Hitler’s regime\, and engagement to a card-carrying Nazi. Even after his mother fled to London from Nazi Germany and Hitler had been defeated\, her instinct for self-concealment didn’t abate. Following the early death of his father\, also a German Jewish refugee\, May was raised a Catholic and forbidden to identify as Jewish or German or British. \nIn the face of these banned inheritances\, May embarks on a quest to uncover the lives of the three sisters as well as the secrets of a grandfather he never knew. His haunting story forcefully illuminates questions of belonging and home – questions that continue to press in on us today. \nAbout the speakers:\nProfessor Simon May is Visiting Professor of Philosophy at King’s College London. Simon May’s interests lie in ethics\, philosophy of the emotions\, questions of identity and belonging\, and German 19th and 20th Century thought\, especially the work of Schopenhauer\, Nietzsche and Heidegger. He is also a devotee of the aphoristic form. His monographs include Nietzsche’s Ethics and his War on “Morality” (Oxford: Oxford University Press\, 1999); Love: A History (New Haven: Yale University Press\, 2011); Love: A New Understanding of an Ancient Emotion (New York: Oxford University Press\, 2019)\, and The Power of Cute (Princeton: Princeton University Press\, 2019). \nDr Toby Simpson is the Director of The Wiener Holocaust Library. \nClosing remarks by:\nDr Kim Wünschmann  has been Director of the Institute for the History of the German Jews since October 2021. She studied Jewish Studies\, political science\, and psychology at the Free University of Berlin and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She received her doctorate with a historical study at Birkbeck College\, University of London\, which was awarded the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research\, the Prix “Fondation Auschwitz – Jacques Rozenberg\,” and the Herbert Steiner Prize of the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance (DÖW) and the International Conference of Labor and Social History (ITH). \n \n\n\n\n\nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1.

SUMMARY:Book talk: Julia Boyd: A Village in the Third Reich: How Ordinary Lives were Transformed by the Rise of Fascism
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Wiener Holocaust Library for a book talk and Q&A by author Julia Boyd on her new work. \nHidden deep in the Bavarian mountains lies the picturesque village of Oberstdorf – a place where for hundreds of years people lived ordinary lives while history was made elsewhere. Yet even this remote idyll could not escape the brutal iron grip of the Nazi regime… From the author of the bestselling Travellers in the Third Reich comes A Village in the Third Reich\, an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler which shines a light on the lives of ordinary people. \nDrawing on personal archives\, letters\, interviews and memoirs\, it lays bare their brutality and love; courage and weakness; action\, apathy and grief; hope\, pain\, joy and despair. Within its pages we encounter people from all walks of life – foresters\, priests\, farmers and nuns; innkeepers\, Nazi officials\, veterans and party members; village councillors\, mountaineers\, soci \nalists\, slave labourers\, schoolchildren\, tourists and aristocrats. We meet the Jews who survived – and those who didn’t; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was judged ‘not worth living’. \nA Village in the Third Reich tells a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires\, of shattered dreams – but one in which\, ultimately\, human resilience triumphs. \n“Utterly absorbing’ The Times \nAbout the speaker: Julia Boyd is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Travellers in the Third Reich: The Rise of Fascism through the Eyes of Everyday People and A Village in the Third Reich: How Ordinary Lives were Transformed by the Rise of Fascism. Her previous books include A Dance with the Dragon: The Vanished World of Peking’s Foreign Colony\, The Excellent Doctor Blackwell: The Life of the First Woman Physician and Hannah Riddell: An Englishwoman in Japan. As the widow of a former diplomat\, she lived in Germany from 1977 to 1981. She lives in London. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Talk: Never Tell Anyone You’re Jewish: Maria Chamberlain
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Library’s Excavation-Confrontation-Repair? Family Histories of the Holocaust events series. Join online or in person at the Library by registering to attend below. \nMaria Chamberlain’s book\, Never Tell Anyone You’re Jewish is a story of two assimilated Jewish families in Nazi-occupied Poland in the eye of the Holocaust. The two families were joined by marriage after the war and Maria was born soon after. Not surprisingly her mother initially urged her to hide her Jewishness. Later\, in old age\, she relented\, recognising that testimonies make history\, and that the lives of those who perished deserve to be celebrated. The material in the book is compiled from recounted memories of the survivors\, unfinished memoirs\, letters\, photographs\, and historical archives. \nThe book tells of Maria’s paternal grandfather\, whose appointment to the impossibly compromised post of President of the Kraków Judenrat ultimately led to his downfall\, of her aunt Lula\, who was denounced and shot\, of her maternal grandmother\, who died in the gas chambers of Belzec\, and of Kuba\, the gifted pianist\, who was told to dig his own grave. There are uplifting stories too: her great uncle’s survival on Schindler’s List\, and her charismatic\, heel-clicking maternal grandfather’s survival hiding in plain sight in a quasi-Nazi organisation. \nMaria documents the kindness of strangers\, miraculous escapes\, courage\, guile\, strength\, and resilience. Her parents adopted different strategies for survival\, and afterwards responded very differently to the traumas they had suffered. The last part of the book covers Maria’s early life in Stalinist Poland and her family’s emigration to Edinburgh\, where she and her parents led fulfilled lives as scientists. Despite this\, the traumas continue to ripple through her life and following generations. \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.

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 PhD and a Cup of Tea: Ustaša Killing Specialists: the Personnel of the Jasenovac Concentration and Death Camp
DESCRIPTION:With an estimated 90\,000 to 100\,000 victims\, the Jasenovac concentration and death camp complex (1941–1945) was a major killing site during the Second World War and the epicentre of state-organized destruction in the fascist Independent State of Croatia. Emil Kjerte’s doctoral research focuses on the Croatian men and women stationed at the camp complex. Drawing on records from post-war trials and survivor testimonies\, he studies the guards’ backgrounds and motivations for volunteering for service\, the social dynamics of the violence they perpetrated\, their interactions with civilians and state actors outside the camp complex and their post-war trajectories. \nEmil Kjerte is a doctoral candidate at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Clark University in Massachusetts. He holds a BA in History from the University of Copenhagen and an MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies from Uppsala University. Besides EHRI\, his research has been supported by the Central European History Society\, the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University\, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. He will be a Conny Kristel European Holocaust Research Infrastructure Fellow at the Library in September 2022.

SUMMARY:Online Book Launch: Colonial Paradigms of Violence: Comparative Analysis of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Mass Killing
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London\, are delighted to host this event as part of our of Holocaust and Genocide Partnership activities. \nPart of the Racism\, Antisemitism\, Colonialism and Genocide event series  \nThis volume of European Holocaust Studies edited by Michelle Gordon and Rachel O’Sullivan brings together a collection of peer-reviewed research articles by scholars of the Holocaust\, genocide\, and colonialism. The book explores the key concepts and themes of the historiographical challenges that scholars are grappling with in recent work connected to Hannah Arendt’s ‘boomerang thesis’ and Raphael Lemkin’s definition of genocide and the importance of its colonial dimensions. This volume provides examples of how fruitful academic research can be in bridging the gap between studies of empire and the Holocaust\, but it also offers assessments of the potential analytical weaknesses and pitfalls of such an approach. Topics include colonial disease control and human experimentation in Nazi Germany; cultural genocide\, post-colonialism and Nazi genocide; US colonial violence in the Nazi imagination; cartography and post-colonialism in Holocaust Studies. \nIn conversation with Thomas Kühne\, the volume’s editors and several of its contributors\, this event will focus on the entanglements of the Holocaust and colonial histories and reflect upon more recent highly charged discussions on the Holocaust\, its legacies and debates on education and remembrance. \nThese include the ‘nationalisation’ of Holocaust history\, which informs political and public narratives and then feeds back into memory wars both within the European metropoles and the ‘peripheries’ that were once violently occupied. Such topics highlight that it is not only Germany that is engaged in debates on the Holocaust\, memorialisation\, ‘decolonisation’ and attempts to come to terms with the past (‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung’). \nAbout the speakers: \nThomas Kühne the Strassler Colin Flug Chair in the Study of Holocaust History and the Director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. His research explores the relation of war\, genocide\, and society\, long-term traditions of political culture and political emotions in Europe\, and the problem of locating the Holocaust and Nazi Germany in the continuities and discontinuities of the 20th century. His recent publications include the monographs The Rise and Fall of Comradeship: Hitler’s Soldiers\, Male Bonding and Mass Violence in the 20th Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2017)\, and Belonging and Genocide. Hitler’s Community\, 1918-1945 (Yale University Press\, 2010). \nRachel O’Sullivan is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Holocaust Studies\, Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History in Munich. She has published in the Journal of Genocide Research\, the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History\, and Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte (with Frank Bajohr). She is currently working on her first monograph on similarities and dissimilarities between colonialism and Nazi Germany’s inclusionary and exclusionary population policies in annexed Poland. \nMichelle Gordon is a researcher at the Hugo Valentin Center at Uppsala University\, Sweden\, and currently heads the project ‘The “Civilized” Nature of Nineteenth-Century Warfare? British and German Practices of Violence in Colonial and Intra-European Wars.’ Gordon is the author of Extreme Violence and the ‘British Way’: Colonial Warfare in Perak\, Sierra Leone and Sudan\, published as part of Bloomsbury’s ‘Empire’s Other Histories’ series in 2020. \nAleksandra Szczepan is a literary scholar\, co-founder and member of the Research Centre for Memory Cultures at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and a collaborator of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in oral history projects in Poland and Spain. She authored the book “Realista Robbe-Grillet” (2015) on 20th century redefinitions of realism. She has been recipient of scholarships from the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies\, the USHMM\, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure and the Polish National Science Centre. She is currently working on a book project dedicated to the role of maps in Holocaust testimony. \nDorota Glowacka is Professor of Humanities at the University of King’s College in Kjipuktuk/Halifax\, Canada. Glowacka is the author of Po tamtej stronie: świadectwo\, afekt\, wyobraźnia (From the Other Side: Testimony\, Affect\, Imagination\, 2017) and Disappearing Traces: Holocaust Testimonials\, Ethics\, and Aesthetics (2012). She coedited Imaginary Neighbors: Mediating Polish-Jewish Relations after the Holocaust (2007) and Between Ethics and Aesthetics: Crossing the Boundaries (2002)\, and edited a special issue of Culture Machine entitled “Community” (2006). Glowacka has published numerous book chapters\, journal articles\, reviews\, and encyclopedia entries in the area of Holocaust and genocide studies\, critical theory\, and theories of gender. She is a member of the Academic Committee at the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Research at the USHMM. Her current research focuses on gender and genocide\, and on the intersections of the Holocaust and settler colonial genocides in North America. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n\n The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition opening: ‘There was a time...’: Jewish Family Photographs Before 1939
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of our new exhibition that brings together over 100 never-before-seen portraits and snapshots from twelve Jewish families in the 1890s through the 1930s. \n \nDrawn from The Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique archives\, these private family photographs uncover a hidden history of pre-Nazi era Jewish life in Germany and Austria. Captions reveal the fates of some of the individuals depicted: persecution\, deportation\, annihilation\, or escape. \n‘There was a time…’ builds upon a growing public interest in vernacular photography: commonplace photographs made and bought by ordinary people. The images on display document everyday\, intimate moments and expressions of culture and identity\, creating a physical record of how the subjects wished to be seen and remembered. \nThe evening will include a drinks reception and brief remarks from the Library’s director and the exhibition’s curator.  \n

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Launch - Émigré Voices: Conversations with Jewish Refugees from Germany and Austria
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Association of Jewish Refugees\, Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies and Insiders/Outsiders \nAbout the event: \nJoin us for the launch of this new volume by Bea Lewkowicz and Anthony Grenville\, who will speak at the event.

Many of the interviewees rose to great prominence in their chosen career\, such as the author and illustrator Judith Kerr\, the actor Andrew Sachs\, the photographer and cameraman Wolf Suschitzky\, the violinist Norbert Brainin\, and the publisher Elly Miller. The narratives of the interviewees tell of their common struggles as child or young adult refugees who had to forge new lives in a foreign country and they illuminate how each interviewee dealt with the challenges of forced emigration and the Holocaust. The voices of the twelve interviewees provide the reader with a unique and original source\, which gives direct access to the lived multifaceted experience of the interviewees and their contributions to British culture. \nThe event will also feature a short film screening and live interviews with some of the children of the refugees featured in the volume: Tacy Kneale (daughter of Judith Kerr)\, Julia Donat (daughter of Wolfgang Suschitzky) and Tony Balacs (son of Doris Balacs). \nAbout the speakers: \nDr Bea Lewkowicz is a social anthropologist and oral historian and is the director of two oral history archives\, the AJR Refugee Voices Testimony and the Sephardi Voices UK Archive.
