SUMMARY:PhD and a Cup of Tea: Beyond Europe: The history and memory of Jewish Refugees in Japan
DESCRIPTION:The Hikawa Maru\, a ship which took Jewish refugees from Japan to onward destinations in the early 1940s. It’s now stationed in Yokohama in Yamashita Pier \nPart of our new seminar series\, Humanitarianism\, Refugees and the Holocaust\nIn the 1930s and 40s\, many Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe fled their homes to search for safety in countries away from persecution. Some of these destinations\, notably Britain and the United States\, are widely known about. But journeys to Western Europe and North America are only one part of a global story. This talk focuses on Jewish refugees who travelled to Japan\, and who in the process often made journeys covering multiple countries across land and sea. For example\, many Jews who arrived in Kobe\, a city in Japan\, in the early 1940s arrived via Poland\, Lithuania\, and the Soviet Union\, having used the Trans-Siberian railway and sea travel to cross multiple borders. \nFollowing this history\, and drawing on time spent researching in Japan\, this talk will draw on key research questions: how and why did Jewish refugees come to Japan? What were the possibilities open and closed to them? How is this remembered today? \nAbout the Speaker: \nNiamh Hanrahan is a PhD student at the University of Manchester\, based in the Humanitarianism and Conflict Response Institute. Her PhD project is titled Beyond Europe: Jewish Journeys and Humanitarian Aid in Japan (1931-1953)\, covering a history of movement by Jewish refugees from Europe to Japan. Niamh was the postgraduate representative for the British and Irish Association for Holocaust Studies in the 2022/23 academic year. She has published research in blogs for the academic website Refugee History and for The Holocaust Centre North and has been awarded fellowships to conduct research in the USA\, Germany\, Japan\, and Australia. \nVirtual seminar guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders.\nPlease try and join 5 minutes before the event start time and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).\nIf you would like to ask a question during the event\, the chair may invite you to raise your hand or type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A.\nThis event will not be recorded. The seminar series is generally not recorded because the topics presented are works in progress.\n\nThis event is free\, although registration via the link below is required.

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture: Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories: Past\, Present and Future?
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Annual Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture will take place once again at Gresham College\, and will be delivered by esteemed historian Professor Sir Richard Evans. \nAntisemitism has existed and continues to exist on many levels\, from unthinking prejudice to highly developed theories. Common to all levels is an explicit\, or more often\, implicit belief that all Jews\, usually defined in racial terms\, are conspiring secretly to undermine civilisation\, order\, or social and cultural stability. \nThis lecture considers the evolution of this conspiracy theory since the Middle Ages\, examines its nature and operation today\, and considers its future development. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nProfessor Sir Richard Evans FBA was Provost of Gresham College from 2014-2020. He is a world-renowned historian and academic\, with many of his books now acknowledged as seminal works in the field of modern history. He was Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge from 2008 until his retirement in September 2014. \n\nRegister to attend online or in person here.

SUMMARY:Their Finest Hour 'Digital Collection Day': A nationwide campaign to preserve Second World War and Nazi-era memories and artefacts
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library is looking for people to bring their stories and artefacts relating to the Second World War\, the Nazi era and/or the Holocaust to a ‘Digital Collection Day’ on Friday 10 November (10am – 3pm). \n\n\n\nThe event is part of a nationwide campaign organised by Their Finest Hour\, a team based at the University of Oxford and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund\, which is collecting and preserving the everyday stories and objects of the Second World War. \n\n\n\nAs these stories are fast fading from living memory\, it is vital that they\, and the mementos that often accompany them\, are preserved for future generations. \n\n\n\nAt the Digital Collection Day\, stories about your family’s experiences – and associated objects such as diaries\, letters\, photos\, medals\, and journals– will be recorded\, digitised\, and then uploaded to the Their Finest Hour online archive\, which will be free-to-use from June 2024. \n\n\n\nDr Stuart Lee\, project leader\, said: “We’re delighted to be able to create an archive of memories of the Second World War era. We know from previous projects that people have so many objects\, photos\, and anecdotes which have been passed down from family members which are at risk of getting lost or being forgotten. Our aim is to empower people to digitally preserve these stories and objects before they are lost to posterity.” \n\n\n\nThe project team is especially interested in collecting contributions from people whose families lived through the Nazi era in Europe\, 1933-45. \nThere is no need to book if you wish to attend\, please just turn up on the day.\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about the event\, please contact Matthew Kidd. For more information about the project\, please visit the project website (theirfinesthour.org). You can also follow the project’s progress on Facebook\, Twitter\, and Instagram.

SUMMARY:Virtual Student and Teacher Talk: 85 Years On: ‘Polenaktion’ and The November Pogrom (Kristallnacht)
DESCRIPTION:On the last weekend of October 1938\, 25\,000 Jews with Polish passports were arrested\, rounded up and deported by train to the Polish border. After living in Germany often for decades\, they were expelled without prior warning. A huge humanitarian catastrophe played out at the German-Polish border. Hundreds were injured and dozens died as they were forced to cross into Poland at gunpoint. \nOnly a few weeks later on 9 and 10 November 1938\, in hundreds of towns across Germany and Austria\, thousands of Jews were terrorised\, persecuted and victimised. The November Pogrom\, known alternatively as Kristallnacht\, also led to the desecration of over 1\,200 synagogues and the looting of thousands of Jewish businesses and homes. Approximately 90 people were killed and over 25\,000 Jewish men were arrested and deported to camps. \n85 years on\, this talk explores the experiences of Jewish men\, women and children whose lives were changed forever by the events of the Polenaktion and November Pogrom. \nAimed at GCSE and A-Level students\, this talk will utilise sources from the Library’s unique archive to gain an understanding of the history of Polenaktion; to explore the November Pogrom from the perspective of eyewitnesses; to consider why the events were so significant; and to reflect on them 85 years on. \nThis session is suitable for those studying the following: \nKS3 & KS4 History: \n\nAQA: Germany\, 1890 – 1945: Democracy and Dictatorship\nEdexcel: Weimar and Nazi Germany\, 1918 – 1939\nOCR (History A): Germany\, 1925-1955: The People and The State\nOCR (History B): Living under Nazi Rule\, 1933 – 1945\n\nKS5 History: \n\nAQA: Democracy and Nazism: Germany\, 1918 – 1945\nEdexcel: Germany and West Germany\, 1918 – 1989\nOCR: Democracy and Dictatorships in Germany 1919 – 1963

SUMMARY:Hybrid Lunchtime Talk: Anna Nyburg\, The Clothes on Our Backs: How refugees from Nazism revitalised the British fashion trade
DESCRIPTION:Jews had long been active in the clothing trade in Europe\, developing new production and retail methods and excelling as designers. However\, in the UK clothes production was mostly conservative and design was not a concept. What happened to these Jews in the clothing industry after the Nazis came to power in 1933\, bent on ridding Germany of Jews? Many found asylum in Britain\, where soon the refugee owners of Kangol and other firms were employing thousands of British workers at a time of dreadfully high unemployment. And when war broke out\, it was Kangol who made the berets for the British army and other forces. \nBritish companies started to recognise what the refugees could offer: Pringle of Scotland for one could see the benefits of hiring an Austrian refugee designer\, their first. It was he who thought up the twinset which became a huge commercial success. The refugees brought new technology\, new display methods\, a different attitude to export and much more. It was no wonder then that by the end of the war the refugee clothiers were recognised as having made a disproportionate contribution to the economy Just one who was honoured was Miki Sekers\, who was made an MBE in 1955 for services to the fashion industry. \nAdditionally\, to show their gratitude to the land that had saved their lives and given them hope\, several became major patrons to the British arts scene. Harry Djanogly\, supplier of clothing to M&S and a major donor to medical and educational projects also\, was knighted for his services to philanthropy in 1993. Here Anna Nyburg tells their stories. \nAbout the Speaker \nAnna Nyburg is an Honorary Lecturer at Imperial college London where she has taught languages for many years. Her PhD dissertation (2009) in Exile Studies studied the way in which refugees from Nazism transformed art publishing in Britain. She is a committee member of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies at the University of London. \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Book talk: ‘The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust’s Most Audacious Rescue Operation’ by Roger Moorhouse
DESCRIPTION:Between 1940 and 1943\, a group of Polish diplomats and Jewish activists in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable – and\, until now\, almost completely unknown – humanitarian operation. \nUnder the leadership of the Polish ambassador\, Aleksander Ładoś\, they undertook a systematic programme of forging Latin American passports and identity documents\, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust. \nThe Ładoś operation was one of the largest rescue missions of the Holocaust\, and The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time. The author\, Roger Moorhouse\, will give a short talk about this remarkable book which follows the desperate bids of Jews to obtain life-saving documents\, and their painful uncertainty over whether they will be able to escape the murderous machinery of the Holocaust. After the talk\, Roger and the Director of the Library\, Dr Toby Simpson\, will conduct a conversation about the book\, followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience. \nAbout the speaker\nRoger Moorhouse is a historian specialising in modern German and Polish history. A fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a visiting professor at the College of Europe in Warsaw\, he is the author of Killing Hitler: The Third Reich and the Plots against the Führer\, Berlin at War: Life and Death in Hitler’s Capital\, 1939-1945\, The Devil’s Alliance: Hitler’s Pact with Stalin\, 1939-41 and\, most recently\, First to Fight: The Polish War 1939\, for which we was awarded the Polish Foreign Ministry’s History Prize in 2019.

SUMMARY:Book event: Thomas Harding in conversation with Aviva Dautch about The Maverick – George Weidenfeld and the Golden Age of Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Join The Wiener Holocaust Library and Jewish Renaissance to mark the publication of Thomas Harding’s The Maverick – the story of the famed publisher George Weidenfeld\, who transformed not only publishing but the culture of ideas\, from his struggles as an Austrian-Jewish refugee in London to his rise as a world-renowned literary figure. \nAfter arriving in London just before the Second World War as a penniless and friendless Austrian-Jewish refugee\, George Weidenfeld went on to transform not only the world of publishing but the culture of ideas. The books that he published include momentous titles such as Lolita\, Double Helix\, The Group and The Hedgehog and the Fox\, with authors he championed ranging from Joan Didion\, Mary McCarthy\, Golda Meir and Edna O’Brien to Henry Miller\, Harold Wilson\, Saul Bellow and Henry Kissinger. \nIn this first biography\, Thomas Harding provides a full\, unvarnished and at times difficult history of a complex and fascinating character. Throughout his long career\, George Weidenfeld was written about in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, Time\, Vanity Fair and other publications. Was he\, as described by some\, the ‘greatest salesperson’\, ‘the world’s best networker’\, ‘the publisher’s publisher’ and ‘a great intellectual’? Was his lifelong effort to be the world’s most famous host a cover for his desperate loneliness? Who\, in fact\, was the real George Weidenfeld and how did he rise so successfully within the ranks of London and New York society? \nCovering topics such as democracy\, identity\, the plight of refugees\, globalism\, the liberal international order\, tension in the Middle East\, inter-generational trauma and reconciliation\, and dialogue between faiths\, the issues that George Weidenfeld faced are still as current and relevant today. \nPraise for The Maverick \n‘Thomas Harding has doggedly unearthed fascinating and surprising tales from George Weidenfeld’s life as he rose from poverty and Nazi persecution to become one of the world’s most powerful publishers. Harding reveals a complex personality in a richly told narrative that leaves the reader awed’ – LYNN MEDFORD\, former editor\, Washington Post Magazine \n‘The Maverick anchors George Weidenfeld as one of the foremost influencers in modern literature and a man who rose from extraordinary circumstances to lead an even more extraordinary life. \nA treasure trove of insight and history’ – ARIANNA HUFFINGTON \nAbout the speakers: \nThomas Harding is a bestselling author whose books have been translated into more than sixteen languages. He has written for the Sunday Times\, the Washington Post and the Guardian\, among other publications. His books include Hanns and Rudolf\, which won the JQ-Wingate Prize for Non-Fiction; The House by the Lake\, which was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award; Blood on the Page\, which won the Crime Writers’ Association ‘Golden Dagger Award for Non-Fiction’ and White Debt: The Demerara Uprising and Britain’s Legacy of Slavery. \nAviva Dautch is a poet and the Executive Director of Jewish Renaissance. She has a PhD in contemporary poetry and her poems have been published in magazines and anthologies internationally. She was recently selected as one of the winners of the Primers Prize for emerging voices and received an Authors’ Foundation Grant from The Society of Authors. She has lectured on modern Jewish culture at the University of Roehampton\, the London School of Jewish Studies and JW3.

SUMMARY:Virtual Teacher Talk: The Oppression of the Black Community in Nazi-Occupied Europe
DESCRIPTION:The prisoner registration card of Gert Schramm  \nPart of the Wiener Holocaust Library’s free series of educational events for students and teachers\, drawing on our unique archive collection.\nThis education event is hosted in partnership with The German History Society \nBlack people experienced persecution and discrimination before\, during and after the Third Reich in Germany and elsewhere. This workshop will utilise the Library’s collections to explore how the persecution of Black people by the Nazi regime was not straightforward. There was a clear genocidal intention in Nazi policy towards Black men\, women\, and children\, but at a local level the implementation of these intentions was inconsistent and often haphazard\, which created a wide variety of experiences of persecution. \nThis virtual session is aimed at teachers and educators and will serve as an introduction to the topic – the themes introduced here will be developed further in a more intensive in-person workshop to take place in the spring. This event will be led by Dr Barbara Warnock\, Professor Robbie Aitken and Dr Jeff Bowersox. \nAims:  \n\nTo gain an overview of black history in Europe.\nTo consider Nazi policies towards black people.\nTo use the Library’s collection to explore the persecution and discrimination the black community faced in Nazi-Occupied Europe.\nTo gain an overview of Black history in Europe and of resources to support teaching on the subject.\n\nAbout the Speakers\nDr Barbara Warnock is the Library’s Senior Curator and Head of Education. \nProfessor Robbie Aitken is an Historian of Black Europe and Empire at Sheffield Hallam University. He has written widely on the development of a Black community in Germany from the 1880s up to 1945. His publications include Black Germany\, the Making and Unmaking of a Diaspora Community\, 1884-1960\, (with Eve Rosenhaft). Currently he is finishing a longer article on the Nuremberg Race Laws and their application to Black German residents. \nDr. Jeff Bowersox is an associate professor of German history at UCL. He researches and teaches on the connections that tied Germans and Europeans into the globalizing world of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He has published widely on German colonial culture\, most notably in his book Raising Germans in the Age of Empire (2013)\, on the history of toys\, and on Black entertainers in the German-speaking lands. He is also the managing editor of Black Central Europe\, a web resource making available historical materials on the history of the African diaspora in the German-speaking lands from the Middle Ages to the present. \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Laurien Vastenhout: The Holocaust in the Netherlands: the ‘Dutch paradox’
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Wiener’s certificate acknowledging her registration as a person of ‘wholly or partly Jewish blood’ as required by the German occupying authorities in the Netherlands\, April 1941.  \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library at 90 exhibition events series. \nAround three quarters (75%) of the Jews in the Netherlands were murdered during the Holocaust. Compared to Belgium (40%) and France (25%)\, this is by far the highest death rate in Western Europe. \nSince the Netherlands is known for its supposed tradition of tolerance towards minorities\, the question why so many Jews were deported and killed has occupied a central place in Dutch Holocaust historiography. \nIn this talk\, Dr Laurien Vastenhout presents an explanatory framework for this so-called ‘Dutch paradox’. In doing so\, she not only provides an insight into how the Holocaust unfolded in the Netherlands\, but also address some persistent misconceptions about the role of the Jewish community leadership – specifically\, the Dutch Jewish Council – in the process of isolation and deportation of the Jews during the German occupation. \nAbout the speaker\nDr Laurien Vastenhout is researcher and assistant professor at NIOD Institute for War\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies / the University of Amsterdam. She obtained her PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2020. \nIn 2022\, her book Between Community and Collaboration: ‘Jewish Councils’ in Western Europe under Nazi Occupation was published by Cambridge University Press. Vastenhout was recently granted a Dutch Research Council (NWO) VENI award for her project ‘Intermarriage and Family: Survival during War\, Occupation and Genocide’\, which will her research focus the coming years.

SUMMARY:Daniel Finkelstein in conversation with Sam Finkelstein on Hitler\, Stalin\, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival
DESCRIPTION:A Red Cross Telegram sent by Margarete Wiener to Alfred Wiener explaining that the family had been unable to obtain exit permits from the Netherlands.  \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust at Ninety exhibition event series.\nJoin Daniel Finkelstein at the Library for a discussion of his family memoir with his son Sam\, who acted as the first reader of the book. The event will also be a chance to view the Library’s ninetieth anniversary exhibitions\, one of which\, The Wiener Family Story\, features some of the documents and stories that are featured in Finkelstein’s book. \nAbout the book: Daniel Finkelstein’s family experience at the hands of the two genocidal dictators of the 20th century is one of miraculous survival. His mother Mirjam Wiener was the youngest of three daughters born in Germany to Alfred and Margarete Wiener. Alfred Wiener was the founder of The Wiener Holocaust Library and a decorated hero from the Great War. He is now widely acknowledged to have been the first person to recognise the existential danger Hitler posed to the Jews and began\, in 1933\, to catalogue in detail Nazi crimes. After moving his family to Amsterdam\, he relocated the Library’s predecessor organisation to London and was preparing to bring over his wife and children when Germany invaded Holland. Before long\, the family was rounded up\, robbed\, humiliated\, and sent to Bergen-Belsen camp. \nDaniel’s father Ludwik was born in Lwow\, the only child of a prosperous Jewish family. In 1939\, after Hitler and Stalin carved up Poland\, the family was rounded up by the communists and sent to do hard labour in a Siberian gulag. Working as slave labourers on a collective farm\, his father survived the freezing winters in a tiny house they built from cow dung. \nAbout the speaker\nDaniel Finkelstein is a British journalist and opinion writer. A former executive editor of The Times\, he continues to write for the paper. He has been Political Columnist of the Year four times and recently joined the board of Chelsea Football Club. He was appointed to the House of Lords in 2013.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City\, John Kampfner
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Wiener Holocaust at Ninety exhibition event series.\nJoin us for an evening event to mark the publication of In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City. \nEver since John Kampfner was a young journalist in Communist East Berlin\, he hasn’t been able to get the city out of his mind. It is a place tortured by its past\, obsessed with memories\, a place where traumas are unleashed and the traumatised have gathered. \nOver the past four years Kampfner has walked the length and breadth of Berlin\, delving into the archives\, and talking to historians and writers\, architects and archaeologists. He clambers onto a fallen statue of Lenin; he rummages in boxes of early Medieval bones; he learns about the cabaret star so outrageous she was thrown out of the city. \nBerlin has been a military barracks\, industrial powerhouse\, centre of learning\, hotbed of decadence – and the laboratory for the worst experiment in horror known to man.  Now a city of refuge\, it is home to 180 nationalities\, and more than a quarter of the population has a migrant background. Berlin never stands still. It is never satisfied. It never believes it has the answer. But it is now the irresistible capital to which the world is gravitating. \nIn Search of Berlin is an 800-year story\, a dialogue between past and present; it is a new way of looking at this turbulent and beguiling city on its never-ending journey of reinvention. \nAbout the Speaker\nJohn Kampfner is an award-winning author\, broadcaster and foreign-affairs commentator. He began his career reporting from East Berlin (during the fall of the Wall) and Moscow (during the collapse of communism) for the Telegraph. After covering British politics for the Financial Times and BBC\, he edited the New Statesman. \nHe is a regular TV and radio pundit\, documentary maker and author of six previous books\, including the bestselling Blair’s Wars.  His most recent book\, Why the Germans Do it Better\, was a top ten bestseller\, Book of the Year in the Guardian\, Economist and the New Statesman\, and sold over 100\,000 copies in all editions.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize Winner - Ari Joskowicz\, Rain of Ash
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host an evening lecture by the winner of our 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize. The jury has awarded Ari Joskowicz’s book\, Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust the prize. The judges found it to be “a compelling and important book which deserves to be widely read. It is both beautifully written and sensitively handled. A truly field defining work!” \nJews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust\, yet the world did not recognize their destruction equally. In the years and decades following the war\, the Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts\, scholars\, educators\, curators\, and politicians\, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma went largely ignored. Rain of Ash is the untold story of how Roma turned to Jewish institutions\, funding sources\, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition and compensation for their wartime suffering. \nAri Joskowicz vividly describes the experiences of Hitler’s forgotten victims and charts the evolving postwar relationship between Roma and Jews over the course of nearly a century. During the Nazi era\, Jews and Roma shared little in common besides their simultaneous persecution. Yet the decades of entwined struggles for recognition have deepened Romani-Jewish relations\, which now center not only on commemorations of past genocides but also on contemporary debates about antiracism and Zionism. \nUnforgettably moving and sweeping in scope\, Rain of Ash is a revelatory account of the unequal yet necessary entanglement of Jewish and Romani quests for historical justice and self-representation that challenges us to radically rethink the way we remember the Holocaust. \nFurther information about Prof Joskowicz’s book can be found here. \nAbout the Speakers\nAri Joskowicz is associate professor of Jewish studies\, history\, and European studies at Vanderbilt University and the author of The Modernity of Others: Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France. \nTímea Junghaus is an art historian and contemporary art curator. She started in the position of Executive Director of the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture in September 2017. Previously\, Junghaus was Research Fellow of the Working Group for Critical Theories at the Institute for Art History at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2010-2017). She has researched and published extensively on the conjunctions of modern and contemporary art with critical theory\, with particular reference to issues of cultural difference\, colonialism\, and minority representation. She is completing her Ph.D. studies in Cultural Theory at the Eötvös Loránd University\, Budapest. \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

DESCRIPTION:This education event is hosted in partnership with The Holocaust Educational Trust.\nJoin us at The Wiener Holocaust Library to hear the extraordinary story of Eddy Boas\, a child Holocaust survivor who showed resilience to survive and navigate the challenges faced from the Holocaust. \n“I was just three-and-a-half months old when Germany invaded Holland on 10 May 1940.

SUMMARY:Free Public Performance: Yiddish Glory and Songs from Testimonies
DESCRIPTION:As part of the closed “Bloody Folklore” Workshop on New Research on Music\, Archives and the Holocaust\, The Wiener Holocaust Library\, the Yale Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies\, The Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London\, World ORT Music and the Holocaust\, the Sir Martin Gilbert Learning Centre and the UCL Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies are delighted to host two musical performances by Yiddish Glory and Songs from Testimonies. Attendance is free\, but because space is limited and registration below is required. \nThe Yale Fortunoff Songs From Testimonies project collects and records songs and poems discovered in our testimonies. Zisl Slepovitch took the songs\, conducted research about their origins\, then arranged and recorded versions with his ensemble\, featuring Sasha Lurje. The songs and poems you will hear were sung or recounted in a number of testimonies and reflect the richness of these documents. They are songs from the interwar period and from the ghettos and the camps. Originally\, these songs were sung individually and collectively\, but in survivors’ testimonies they are recounted or performed by individuals. They thus remind us that the survivor singing them represents all those who did not survive to sing again\, and remind us of the absence of the original audience. \nHistorian Anna Shternshis (University of Toronto) and singer/violinist Alice Zawadzki\, bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado\, and pianist Bruno Heinen bring to life long lost Yiddish songs of World War II in this all-new concert and lecture program. Collected by Moisei Beregovsky and other academics of the Kiev Cabinet for Jewish Culture\, these previously unknown Yiddish songs were confiscated and hidden by the Soviet government in 1949\, and have only recently come to light. They tell stories of how Soviet Jews lived and died under the German occupation\, used music to document Nazi atrocities\, fought in the Red Army\, worked in the home front in Central Asia\, and made sense of it all through Yiddish music. None of these songs was known until they were accidentally discovered in the basement of the Ukrainian National Library in the 1990s. The lecture/concert features the performance of these previously unknown materials\, thus giving voices to Soviet Jewish women\, children\, and men who never got to tell their stories\, but left us their incredible songs.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Nick Underwood in conversation with Sonia Gollance
DESCRIPTION:As part of our new academic books event series\, The Wiener Holocaust Library is pleased to host Nick Underwood who will speak about his new book\, Yiddish Paris: Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France. Participants can register to attend in person or online. \nYiddish Paris explores how Yiddish-speaking emigrants from Eastern Europe in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s created a Yiddish diaspora nation in Western Europe and how they presented that nation to themselves and to others in France. In this meticulously researched and first full-length study of interwar Yiddish culture in France\, author Nick Underwood argues that the emergence of a Yiddish Paris was depended on “culture makers\,” mostly left-wing Jews from Socialist and Communist backgrounds who created cultural and scholarly organizations and institutions\, including the French branch of YIVO (a research institution focused on East European Jews)\, theatre troupes\, choruses\, and a pavilion at the Paris World’s Fair of 1937. \nYiddish Paris examines how these left-wing Yiddish-speaking Jews insisted that even in France\, a country known for demanding the assimilation of immigrant and minority groups\, they could remain a distinct group\, part of a transnational Yiddish-speaking Jewish nation. Yet\, in the process\, they in fact created a French-inflected version of Jewish diaspora nationalism\, finding allies among French intellectuals\, largely on the left. \nAbout the Speaker\nNick Underwood is an assistant professor in the Department of History and Berger-Neilsen Chair of Judaic Studies at The College of Idaho. His work has appeared in a number of journals\, and his book Yiddish Paris: Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France was a finalist for the 2022 National Jewish Book Award. He is also the project manager for the Digital Yiddish Theatre Project. \nSonia Gollance is Lecturer in Yiddish at UCL. She is a scholar of Yiddish Studies and German-Jewish literature whose work focuses on dance\, theatre\, and gender. Her first book\, It Could Lead to Dancing: Mixed-Sex Dancing and Jewish Modernity\, was published by Stanford University Press in 2021. Previously she taught at the University of Vienna\, The Ohio State University\, and the University of Göttingen (Germany). She received her PhD in Germanic Languages and Literatures from the University of Pennsylvania and her BA in Comparative Literature and Germanic Studies from the University of Chicago. \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Przemysłowa Concentration Camp for Children – Katarzyna Person\, Johannes-Dieter Steinert
DESCRIPTION:As part of our new academic books event series\, The Wiener Holocaust Library is pleased to host the authors of Przemysłowa Concentration Camp: The Camp\, the Children\, the Trial\, Dr Katarzyna Person and Prof Johannes-Dieter Steinert. Participants can register to attend in person or online. \nThis book explores one of the most notorious aspects of the German system of oppression in wartime Poland: the only purpose-built camp for children under the age of 16 years in German-occupied Europe. The camp at Przemysłowa street\, or the Polen-Jugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt as the Germans called it\, was a concentration camp for children. The camp at Przemysłowa existed for just over two years\, from December 1942 until January 1945. During that time\, an unknown number of children\, mainly Polish nationals\, were imprisoned there and subjected to extreme physical and emotional abuse. For almost all\, the consequences of atrocities which they endured in the camp remained with them for the rest of their lives. This book focuses on the establishment of the camp\, the experience of the child prisoners\, and the post-war investigations and trials. It is based on contemporary German documents\, post-war Polish trials and German investigations\, as well as dozens of testimonies from camp survivors\, guards\, civilian camp staff and the camp leadership. \nAbout the Speakers:\nKatarzyna Person is a historian of the Holocaust working at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw\, Poland. \nJohannes-Dieter Steinert is Professor of Modern European History and Migration Studies at the University of Wolverhampton\, UK. \n  \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
