SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Carole Angier in conversation with Philippe Sands
DESCRIPTION:The Library is delighted to host a hybrid book talk with Carole Angier in conversation with Philippe Sands on Angier’s new book\, Speak\, Silence: In Search of WG Sebald as part of our new academic book event series. \nW. G. Sebald was one of the most extraordinary and influential writers of the twentieth century. Through books including The Emigrants\, Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn\, he pursued an original literary vision that combined fiction\, history\, autobiography and photography\, addressing some of the most profound themes of contemporary literature: the burden of the Holocaust\, memory\, loss and exile. \nThe first biography to explore his life and work\, Speak\, Silence pursues the true Sebald through the memories of those who knew him and through the work he left behind. This quest takes Carole Angier from Sebald’s birth as a second-generation German at the end of the Second World War\, through his rejection of the poisoned inheritance of the Third Reich\, to his emigration to England\, exploring the choice of isolation and exile that drove his work. It digs deep into a creative mind on the edge\, finding profound empathy and paradoxical ruthlessness\, saving humour\, and an elusive mix of fact and fiction in his life as well as work. The result is a unique\, ferociously original portrait. \nAbout the speakers \nCarole Angier is the author of Jean Rhys: Life & Work (shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize) and The Double Bond: A Life of Primo Levi. She was educated at the universities of McGill\, Oxford and Cambridge. She taught academic and life writing for many years and has edited several books of refugee writing. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. \nPhilippe Sands is Professor of public understanding of Law at University College London\, and Samuel and Judith Pisar Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. He is President of English PEN and on the board of the Hay Festival of Arts and Literature. Author of many books\, including East West Street (2016) and The Ratline (2020)\, Philippe is an occasional contributor to many publications\, including The Guardian\, Financial Times and New York Times\, and appears regularly on the BBC and CNN. His next book\, The Last Colony\, will be published in September 2022. \nIf you are joining online: \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel Discussion on Holocaust distortion
DESCRIPTION:Prior to murdering their victims at extermination camps\, the Nazis confiscated all their personal possessions. This photograph shows some of the shaving brushes seized by the Nazis at Auschwitz\, 1940-1945. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nPart of the Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today exhibition event series. In association with Yet Again to mark the launch of their resource\, Holocaust Distortion in Europe: An Interactive Map. \nHolocaust distortion – the attempt to manipulate the historical narrative and significance of the Holocaust – is a significant problem in Europe. Holocaust distortion manifests in many ways: it can be seen in attempts to claim that the Jews are somehow responsible for the Holocaust\, or in the erasure of the culpability of some of the perpetrators. \nIn this event\, panellists will discuss some of the issues around Holocaust distortion\, including considering how Holocaust distortion should be defined; how\, when and where ideas of Holocaust distortion have developed; how Holocaust distortion differs (or not) from Holocaust denial\, and what threat Holocaust distortion poses to public discourses. \nAbout the speakers: \nAlex Maws is Head of Education and Heritage at the Association of Jewish Refugees. He is a member of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) Committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial and served on the Board of Directors of the British Association of Holocaust Studies from 2013-2016. \nDr Juliane Wetzel is a historian and a senior researcher at the Centre for Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University Berlin and chair of the IHRA Committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial. She advised the Global Task Force Against Holocaust Distortion\, created during the German presidency of the IHRA in 2020. \nDr Robert Williams is Deputy Director for International Affairs at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, on the steering committee of the Global Task Force Against Holocaust Distortion\, and served for four years as chair of the Committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial at the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.\nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk: We Fight Fascists: The 43 Group and their Forgotten Battle for Post-War Britain
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Library’s Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today exhibition series. \nIn this event\, Daniel Sonabend\, historian and author of We Fight Fascists: The 43 Group and their Forgotten Battle for Post-War Britain\, will tell the story of the militant Jewish anti-fascist organisation the 43 Group. \nIn the immediate aftermath of the Second World War\, Britain’s fascists\, led from the shadows by the pre-war fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley\, sought to resurrect fascism in Britain. As part of this work\, they began holding outdoor meetings on street corners around London\, often focusing on areas with large Jewish populations. London’s Jews came under attack once again\, as many were harassed by gangs of fascists and Jewish properties were attacked and vandalised. Outraged that the British state was allowing this to happen and the Jewish establishment was barely kicking up a fuss\, Jewish veterans who had just returned from fighting Nazism on the continent realised that their days of fighting were not yet at an end. In 1946 they formed the 43 Group of Jewish Ex-Servicemen\, an organisation dedicated to active and direct confrontation with Britain’s fascists and anti-Semites. For the rest of the decade\, they waged an often bloody street war against Britain’s fascists\, taking the fight to them wherever they were and eventually beating them off the streets and back into the shadows. \nThe 43 Group was the first organization of its kind in Britain and theirs is a fascinating story full of character\, drama\, and indomitable spirit\, which Sonabend brings to life in his talk using photographs and interview footage of veterans of the Group. \nIf you are joining us online: \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime lecture: Communist Resistance in Nazi Germany
DESCRIPTION:Published in 1935\, this pamphlet apparently advertising Nivea cream actually contains Communist writings advocating anti-fascism. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nTo mark the completion of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s Project to digitise our rare collection of hidden anti-Nazi resistance writings\, Tarnschriften \nRare anti-Nazi resistance pamphlets at the Library – The Wiener Holocaust Library \nIn this talk\, Historian Dr Udo Grashoff will give an overview of Communist resistance in Nazi Germany. Although it was not successful and it hardly promoted a democratic alternative\, Communist resistance to the Nazis deserves to be considered with respect. The Communist Party of Germany (KPD) was the most important force among different strands of resistance against the Nazi dictatorship within the Third Reich. After Hitler’s appointment as chancellor and despite the brutal repression of political opponents\, thousands of Communists still actively supported the party. Particularly during the first three years of Hitler’s rule\, the KPD called on its members to resist heroically\, at the risk of their lives. The tragic struggle took its toll. 20\,000 German Communists died in concentration camps or were executed. Communist resistance varied in form and scope\, and was for the most part not centrally coordinated\, but it did continue until the end of the war in 1945. \nAbout the speaker\nUdo Grashoff specializes in the history of modern Germany with a focus on the history of everyday life in dictatorships\, on resistance and political taboo subjects. He is the author of a study on suicide in the GDR (“In einem Anfall von Depression…” Selbsttötungen in der DDR\, 2006) and a monograph on squatting in East Germany (Schwarzwohnen. Die Unterwanderung der staatlichen Wohnraumlenkung in der DDR\, 2011). In 2020\, he edited the volume Comparative Approaches To Informal Housing Around The Globe (UCL Press London). In 2021\, he published a book on betrayal within the Communist resistance movement in the Third Reich (Gefahr von innen. Verrat in der illegalen KPD 1933-1945). After six years at UCL in London\, he currently teaches in Leipzig. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Student Revision: Democracy and Nazism: The Racial State
DESCRIPTION:Jewish women walking in the street with yellow Star of Davids attached to their outer clothing. France\, c. 1940s. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections.  \nPart of the Library’s Summer Term educational talks and workshops. \nIn the interwar period\, Germany was politically unstable. The trauma caused by the First World War and the Great Depression left many Germans disheartened and susceptible to extremist ideas. \nThe Nazi Party seemingly offered hope and solutions. The Party condemned the unpopular Treaty of Versailles and offered an explanation for Germany’s problems – the Jews. Although this was not a new idea in Germany\, where antisemitism had been growing since the start of the century\, Nazi ideology placed antisemitism and racist ideas at its centre. \nThis revision session\, aimed at GCSE and A-Level students\, will utilise sources from the Library’s unique archive to examine the Nazi’s creation of a ‘Racial State’. It will explore the radicalisation of the state; Nazi racial ideology; increasing antisemitic policies and actions as well as the treatment of Jews in the early years of war by looking at the development of ghettos and deportations. \nDelivered by Kiera Fitzgerald\, the Library’s Education Officer\, this session is suitable for those studying the following: KS3 History; GCSE History Edexcel: Weimar and Nazi Germany 1918-1939; GCSE History OCR: Germany 1925-1955: The People and The State. Edexcel A-Level History – Germany and West Germany\, 1918–89; OCR History Democracy and Dictatorships in Germany 1919–1963; AQA History: Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-1945. \nEvent guidelines\n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email before the event. Please do check your junk folders. \n2. Please try and join 5 minutes before the event start time (17.55) and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Alice's Book - Karina Urbach in conversation with Lord Daniel Finkelstein
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host this hybrid in-person and virtual event in celebration of Karina Urbach’s new book Alice’s Book as part of our Excavation-Confrontation-Repair? Family Histories of the Holocaust events series. \nAlice Urbach had her own cooking school in Vienna\, but in 1938 she was forced to flee to England\, like so many others. Her younger son was imprisoned in Dachau\, and her older son\, having emigrated to the United States\, became an intelligence officer in the struggle against the Nazis. \nReturning to the ruins of Vienna in the late 1940s\, she discovers that her bestselling cookbook has been published under someone else’s name. Now\, eighty years later\, the historian Karina Urbach – Alice’s granddaughter – sets out to uncover the truth behind the stolen cookbook\, and tells the story of a family torn apart by the Nazi regime\, of a woman who\, with her unwavering passion for cooking\, survived the horror and losses of the Holocaust to begin a new life in America. \nAbout the Speakers:\nDr Karina Urbach is both a historian and prize-winning novelist. She took her PhD at the University of Cambridge and since 2015 researches 20th Century History at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton and the Institute for Historical Research\, University of London. Bismarck’s favourite Englishman was Urbach’s first book and is now out in paperback. In 2015\, her monograph Go-Betweens for Hitler triggered a campaign for the release of interwar material from the royal archives. Her latest work Alice’s Book (Das Buch Alice\, Berlin 2020) illustrates for the first time how German publishing houses turned Jewish non-fiction books into ‘Aryan’ ones. Urbach worked on several documentaries for the BBC\, Channel 4\, ITV and in the US – for PBS and has written for several newspapers. \nLord Daniel Finkelstein OBE is a leading political journalist and prominent media commentator on both TV and radio. A former politician himself\, he is currently Associate Editor and Political Columnist for The Times. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1.
