SUMMARY:Book and Travelling Exhibition launch: Anti- Antisemitism and Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Community Security Trust. With the support of the David Berg Foundation. \nJoin us for this event to mark the publication of Anti- Antisemitism: Countering Anti-Jewish Racism in Western Europe\, 1890-2022 and the launch on the Library’s new travelling version of its Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today exhibition. \n \nThis new volume\, edited by the Library’s Barbara Warnock and Toby Simpson and with a foreword by Rabbi Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE\, is inspired by the Library’s exhibition\, Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today. \nThis book launch forms part of our Fighting Antisemitism event series. \nIn a range of essays\, the authors looks at the various individuals\, groups and organisations that have worked to counter antisemitism since the Dreyfus Affair polarised France in the late nineteenth century. 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:Third Annual Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture: Lives in Limbo: Jewish Refugees in Portugal\, 1940–1945
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is presented in partnership with the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership between The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute\, Royal Holloway. \nOur Third Annual Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture will highlight the experiences of Jewish refugees fleeing from antisemitic persecution and from World War II to Portugal. It describes how they were treated\, how they attempted to escape Europe\, and how they struggled in a “no-man’s land” between a painful past and an unknown future. Listening to their voices may help us to understand Jewish heartbreak and perseverance in the 1940s and encourage us to listen compassionately to refugees’ stories today. \nAbout the Speaker:\nProfessor Marion Kaplan is the Skirball Professor of Modern Jewish History at NYU. She is a three-time National Jewish Book Award winner for The Making of the Jewish Middle Class: Women\, Family and Identity in Imperial Germany (1991)\, Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany (1998)\, and Gender and Jewish History (with Deborah Dash Moore\, 2011) as well as a finalist for Dominican Haven: The Jewish Refugee Settlement in Sosua (2008). Other publications include: The Jewish Feminist Movement in Germany; Jewish Daily Life in Germany\, 1618-1945 (ed.). Her newest book\, published in 2020\, is Hitler’s Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal. \nShe has edited other books on German Jewish history\, European women’s history\, and German women’s history and has taught German and European history as well as European Jewish history\, Jewish women’s history\, and German-Jewish history. \nRegister to attend this event online or in person here.
