SUMMARY:Hybrid Event: Testimonies of the Farhud in the Sephardi Voices UK Archive
DESCRIPTION:On 1 June 1941 a pogrom\, known as the Farhud\, broke out in Baghdad. Over the course of 48 hours\, homes and businesses were looted\, and hundreds of Jews were injured and killed. The Farhud is widely recognized as an event inspired by Nazi ideology and marked a turning point in Iraqi-Jewish history. \nSephardi Voices UK documents the testimonies of Jews from the Middle East\, North Africa and Iran. In this event\, we will introduce the SVUK archive\, explore testimonies of those who lived through the Farhud\, and discuss the long-term effects of the Farhud on Baghdad’s Jews. \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 Archive. She is a member of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies\, School of Advanced Study\, University pf London. Her research interests include oral history; trauma and memory; diasporas and displacement; and nationalism and ethnicity. She has worked on many oral history projects and has directed and produced a wide range of testimony-based films. She has also curated several exhibitions\, such as Continental Britons\, Double Exposure\, Sephardi Voices\, and Still in Our Hands: Kinder Life Portraits. Her latest publication\, Émigré Voices: Conversations with Jewish Refugees from Germany and Austria (Brill:2021)\, presents twelve oral history interviews with men and women who came to Britain as Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria in the late 1930s. \nDaisy Abboudi has been Deputy Director of Sephardi Voices UK since 2017. She has conducted a hundred oral history interviews over the course of her career. In addition to her work at Sephardi Voices UK\, Daisy runs Tales of Jewish Sudan.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk: Modern Times: The Biography of Hungarian-Jewish Family
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Library’s Excavation-Confrontation-Repair? Family Histories of the Holocaust events series. \n \nThe Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host a virtual book talk with Prof Stephen Pogany\, led in conversation Dr Gábor Kádár. \nBeginning with the final decades of the doomed Austro-Hungarian Empire\, Prof Stephen Pogany explores the lives of his mother’s family in Budapest and in the spa town of Balatonfüred. Drawing on a wide range of historical and literary sources\, as well as extended interviews with family members and Holocaust survivors\, Modern Times examines the reality of Hungarian-Jewish life in the first half of the twentieth century. In contrast to the familiar tropes that portray Jews as wealthy and privileged\, many of Hungary’s Jews\, like most of the ones we encounter in this memoir\, toiled at menial jobs for low pay while facing growing prejudice and discrimination in the years leading up to the Holocaust. \nAbout the speakers:\nProf Stephen Pogany is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Warwick\, where he specialised in international and comparative human rights law. He has written extensively on antisemitism and anti-Gypsyism in East Central Europe\, particularly in Hungary. In October 2021\, his family memoir\, Modern Times: The Biography of a Hungarian-Jewish Family was published in the UK. \nDr Gábor Kádár is a recurrent visiting professor of the Jewish Studies Program at Central European University. He is former Senior Historian of the Hungarian Jewish Archives\, Budapest. He is the author and co-author of six monographs and numerous studies\, articles and encyclopedia entries regarding various aspects of the Holocaust\, the history of Jews in Hungary as well as the history of genocide and ethnic violence in Central Europe. He is the Director of the Yerusha Project\, a digital humanities initiative by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe as well as a member of the Digital Forum Advisory Board of the European Association of Jewish Studies. \n  \nEvent guidelines:\n1.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Event: Come to this Court and Cry: Linda Kinstler in Conversation with William Shawcross
DESCRIPTION:A few years ago Linda Kinstler discovered that a man fifty years dead – a former Nazi who belonged to the same killing unit as her grandfather – was the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation in Latvia. The proceedings threatened to pardon his crimes. They put on the line hard-won facts about the Holocaust at the precise moment that the last living survivors – the last legal witnesses – were dying. \nAcross the world\, Second World War-era cases are winding their way through the courts. Survivors have been telling their stories for the better part of a century\, and still judges ask for proof. Where do these stories end? What responsibilities attend their transmission\, so many generations on? How many ghosts need to be put on trial for us to consider the crime scene of history closed? \nIn this major non-fiction debut\, Linda Kinstler investigates both her family story and the archives of ten nations to examine what it takes to prove history in our uncertain century. Probing and profound\, Come to this Court and Cry is about the nature of memory and justice when revisionism\, ultra-nationalism and denialism make it feel like history is slipping out from under our feet. It asks how the stories we tell about ourselves\, our families and our nations are passed down\, how we alter them\, and what they demand of us. \nMs Kinstler will be led in conversation by William Shawcross. \nAbout the speakers:\nLinda Kinstler is a contributing writer for The Economist’s 1843 Magazine and a Ph.D candidate in the Rhetoric Department at U.C. Berkeley. Her writing appears in The New York Times\, Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, Wired\, and more. She was previously a Marshall Scholar in the UK\, where she covered British politics for The Atlantic and studied Forensic Architecture. She has been a contributing writer at Politico Europe\, which she helped launch in Brussels in spring 2015. Before that\, she was the managing editor of The New Republic\, where she covered the war in Ukraine. \nWilliam Shawcross was appointed Independent Reviewer of Prevent in January 2021. He was the Chair of the Charity Commission between 2012 and 2018 and became the Special Representative on UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism in March 2019. His previous roles have included membership of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Informal Advisory Panel between 1995 and 2000\, and as a member of the Council of the Disasters Emergency Committee\, 1997 to 2002. He served on the board of International Crisis Group between 1995 and 2006. Prior to 2012\, William was an independent writer and commentator\, having worked as a Foreign Correspondent and written extensively on international affairs. His book\, The Quality of Mercy: Cambodia\, Holocaust and Modern Conscience\, examined the role of aid agencies in disaster relief. He has also written on the work of the United Nations in 1990s conflict zones in Deliver Us From Evil: Peacekeepers\, Warlords\, and a World of Endless Conflict. His other works include Justice and the Enemy: Nuremberg\, 9/11\, and the Trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1.

SUMMARY:Online Workshop: Mapping Migration and the Challenges of Digital Curation
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute\n \nTo mark 2022’s Refugee Week\, The Wiener Holocaust Library’s launch of its new Refugee Map and to explore the opportunities and challenges of digital humanities projects to record\, analyse\, and commemorate the experience of forced migration\, we are pleased to host an interdisciplinary\, one-day virtual symposium that will examine themes related to the challenges of transnational digital curation and the sustainability of digital humanities resources in a new digital age for archives and heritage collections. To what extent do digital resources that map the paths of forced migration extend or subvert archival mediation? Do they democratise access to globally dispersed archives\, or reinforce national\, cultural or other barriers? What are the problems of sustainability for digital resources? The symposium will also feature a keynote lecture by Dr Simone Gigliotti (Royal Holloway\, University of London)\, as well as a hands-on workshop for postgraduate researchers to work with the Library’s new Refugee Map. \nWe welcome digital humanities scholars and practitioners\, and scholars\, postgraduate students and early career researchers in digital humanities\, migration studies\, history\, sociology\, anthropology\, information studies\, curatorial and archival studies\, and related fields to participate.

SUMMARY:Online Event: Passion\, Frustration and Bureaucracy: British Voluntary Efforts for Refugees from Nazism
DESCRIPTION:To mark the launch of a new travelling exhibition\, Mapping Memories: Jewish Refugees to Britain\, 1933-1945. \nIn this online event\, Becky Taylor will draw from her recent book\, Refugees in Twentieth-Century Britain. A History (Cambridge\, 2021)\, to explore the enormous efforts made by voluntary organisations to bring refugees from Nazism to Britain. In the process\, she will show the role\, not only of passion but of self-interest\, frustration and bureaucracy in the desperate efforts to bring refugees to safety before the outbreak of the Second World War. \nDue to the planned rail strike\, this will now be an online only event. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. \nAbout the speaker\nBecky Taylor is Professor of Modern History at the University of East Anglia. She specialises in the histories of minority and marginalised populations – including refugees\, Gypsies and Travellers and the stigmatised poor – and their relationship with the state. \nEvent guidelines:\n1.

SUMMARY:Hybrid event: Panel discussion for Refugee Week 2022: What does it mean to welcome refugees?
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Waging Peace\nReception: 6-6.30pm \nEvent: 6.30-8pm \nDoes when or how you arrive in the UK matter when it comes to seeking sanctuary if you’ve fled persecution in your home country? What about the unavoidable circumstances of your birth\, the passport you hold\, your age\, or the colour of your skin? Who is deserving of our protection\, and who gets to decide? \nThese are the questions an expert panel will seek to answer during this event. Speakers will draw from their own personal experience at the hands of our asylum and immigration system\, whether their relatives fled past persecution at the hands of Nazi Germany; or they themselves escaped ongoing genocidal violence in Darfur\, Sudan. Speakers will also consider the legal frameworks underpinning our asylum and immigration systems\, especially considering recent legislative changes under the Nationality and Borders Bill\, and decisions to remove certain individuals to Rwanda. \nThe event falls during Refugee Week (20-26 June 2022)\, which takes as its theme ‘healing’ -#RefugeeWeek2022 #HealingTogether \nThis will be a hybrid event (both in person and online).  \nSpeakers:\nRobin Lustig\, former BBC presenter and journalist \nAfaf Mohammed\, representative of Massaleit community from Darfur\, Sudan \nCharlotte McLean\, lawyer at Duncan Lewis Solicitors \nChair:\nBarbara Warnock\, Senior Curator and Head of Education at The Wiener Holocaust Library \n \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1.
