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: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.

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: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: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: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 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.
