SUMMARY:Virtual Student Revision: Democracy and Nazism - The Nazi Dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:Adolf Hitler with Hjalmar Schacht (right)\, laying the foundation stone of the new construction of the Reichsbank\, 5th May 1934. \nThe end of the First World War marked the beginning of a period of political and economic instability in Germany. As a result of this instability\, many small\, extremist political groups appeared. With the collapse of democracy\, one such party\, the NSDAP\, or Nazi Party\, rose to power in Germany. \nThis revision session\, aimed at GCSE and A-Level students\, will utilise sources from the Library’s unique archive to examine the Nazi Dictatorship. It will explore the idea of ‘the Terror State’; the role of the SS and Gestapo; opposition to the Nazis; Nazi propaganda and the extent of totalitarianism in Germany. \nDelivered by Kiera Fitzgerald\, the Library’s Education Officer\, this session is suitable for those studying the following: \n\nKS3 History\nGCSE History Edexcel: Weimar and Nazi Germany 1918-1939\nGCSE History OCR: Germany 1925-1955\, The People and The State\nEdexcel A-Level History: Germany and West Germany\, 1918–89\nOCR History: Democracy and Dictatorships in Germany 1919–1963\nAQA History: Democracy and Nazism\, Germany 1918-1945

SUMMARY:Film launch: The Wiener Holocaust Library at 90 - 'Witness' and 'An Audio Testimony'
DESCRIPTION:Filming taking place at the Library \nA still from the short film\, ‘Witness’ \nTo mark the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Library’s predecessor organisation in Amsterdam\, we are kicking off a year of events and activities with the launch of two very short films\, commissioned to mark this important year for the Wiener Library\, the longest continuously running archive of documents on the Nazi era and the Holocaust in the world. \nInspired by the stories that the Library’s family papers’ collection contain\, Director Katia Lom has created Witness\, a powerful reflection on the impact of the Holocaust on families and individuals. \nDirector James Alexandrou was struck by the breadth and depth of the Library’s collections\, and the power of the voices of those recorded in our audio oral histories\, and he has created a dynamic visual and auditory representation of our archive in An Audio Testimony. \nJames said of the project: “As we hurtle towards a world of advanced chatbots and deep fake AI video generators\, it struck me how vital original testimony is and that an archive such as the Wiener Holocaust library is preserved and exposed to the world as much as possible. It’s been a privilege finding a voice like Leon’s and telling a tiny part of such an important story. Thank you for the continued guidance from the Library\, Venetia and the National Film and Television School\, and to our Exec\, Jonathan Glazer”. \nAward-winning writer-director Jonathan Glazer (Under the Skin; Sexy Beast) mentored the filmmakers during this project. \nBoth films have been produced in association with the National Film and Television School. \nWith thanks to:  \nVenetia Hawes \nAJR Refugee Voices Archive and Bea Lewkowicz \nWitness \nDirector: Katia Lom\, Producer: Shereen Ali\, Featuring: Peter Briess \nAn Audio Testimony \nDirector: James Alexandrou\, Producer: Emma Hanson\, Featuring: the voice of Leon Greenman

SUMMARY:Hybrid Public Lecture: Ari Joskowicz: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Held as part of the Symposium on New Directions in the Study of the Roma Genocide and in association with the Fraenkel Prize  \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\, Jews’ experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts\, scholars\, educators\, curators\, and politicians\, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma was largely ignored. Responding to this imbalance\, many Roma came to rely on Jewish institutions\, funding sources\, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition for their wartime suffering. \nThis presentation charts the resulting evolving relationship between Roma and Jews since the Holocaust. During the Nazi era\, Jews and Roma were largely proximate strangers with little in common besides their experience of simultaneous persecution. Yet many decades of entwined struggles for justice have deepened Romani-Jewish relations\, which now centre not only on commemorations of past genocides but also contemporary debates over antiracism and Zionism. \nAbout the speaker\nAri Joskowicz is Associate Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University and Director of the university’s Max Kade Center for European and German Studies. He is the author of Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust (2023)\, which won the Fraenkel Prize 2022\, and The Modernity of Others: Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France (2014)\, and editor of Secularim in Question: Jews and Judaim in Modern Times (2015). \nChair: Dr Celia Donert\, Associate Professor in Central European History\, University of Cambridge. \nRain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust will be available to purchase on the night. \n  \nEvent guidelines for those joining online: \n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders. \n2. Please 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). \n3.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunchtime Exhibition Talk: Jane Haining’s Letter from Auschwitz and the Foundation of a Christo-centric Myth\, Dr Alex Sessa
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Jane Haining copyright owner\, Public domain\, via Wikimedia Commons \nThis event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series. \nThis lecture examines Jane Haining through a microhistory approach. Haining was a Scottish missionary who worked among Christian and Jewish girls in Budapest\, with the intention of bringing Jews into the Christian church. The chief conversionary tactic was to lead a ‘Christian example’. Jane Haining elected to remain in Budapest throughout the war\, which subsequently led to her arrest in March 1944. Subsequently\, she was transported to Auschwitz where she was murdered. Communication from Haining is scant\, but what little information exists is frequently used to present her as a selfless ‘Christian martyr’. Haining’s letters\, including her final correspondence from Auschwitz\, tell us little about her experiences. Sessa argues that the Church of Scotland uses these letters to offer an apologetic narrative of its own missionary past\, and identifies this as a dangerous trend within the context of memory studies. \nSpeaker: \nDr Alex Sessa completed his PhD in Holocaust Studies at the University of Southampton under the supervision of Professor Tony Kushner. His research interests include Memory Studies\, Jewish-Christian relations\, Gender Studies\, and Public History. He currently authors articles examining antisemitism and racism. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online: \n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders. \n2. Please 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). \n3.

Please note that our free events are run by staff volunteers. Thank you for your patience should we have any technical or audio difficulties. We will do our best to correct them but this is not always possible. \nUnfortunately\, this event has to be postponed. It will be rescheduled and a new date announced soon.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Holocaust or Indifference? The history of the Ethiopian Jews under Italian fascist rule
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Alberto Viterbo and Tamraat Emmanuel (Viterbo’s Collection\, Central Zionist Archives\, Jerusalem) \nWithin the context of the fascist conquest of Ethiopia\, the history of the Ethiopian Jews\, the Beta Israel\, is significant. After the arrival of Italian troops in the 1930s\, the Jewish group\, which has always been divided by the Christian majority\, gained special treatment. \nHowever\, the regime’s attitude towards them changed due to the 1938 racial laws. Ethiopian Jews seemed to disappear from the focus of the fascist government\, the Italian Jewish press was forced to close down and the break-up of South African troops on the scene of World War II reshaped Ethiopia and its rule. Many years afterwards\, research on the Beta Israel resumed and some community members have called for their fates and experiences to be considered part of the Holocaust. \nIs it possible to talk about them as victims of genocide? Can we talk about Ethiopian Jews as Holocaust victims? These questions pave the way to new research fields that historiography has neglected and combine topics often neglected in Holocaust studies: racism\, antisemitism and colonialism. \nAbout the speaker\nMatteo D’Avanzo is a PhD candidate in History at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and INALCO\, Paris. He is a fellow of the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoa and Yad Vashem. In 2022/2023 he is a visiting fellow of the Vidal Sassoon Center at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and in spring 2023 he will be visiting fellow of the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway University of London. His research deals with the history of Ethiopian Jews from the Italian fascist rule to the official recognition by the State of Israel. \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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk: Write at once and in detail: the re-creation of Mimi and her family\, with Marion Macalpine
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series.  \nWhen there is silence in a family about its history\, the urge to know can become intense. Marion Macalpine\, author of “Write at once and in detail: the re-creation of Mimi and her family”\, will introduce the gripping story she has put together from torn up family letters sent between Vienna and England in 1930s and 40s. \nShe will raise the question of who has the right to know and who has the right to keep silent.  She will also describe the process of gathering clues from multiple sources and how she assembled the shreds into ‘almost breathing\, almost speaking individuals’ with all their turbulent history. \nIn discussion with Elise Bath\, ITS Archive Team Manager at The Wiener Holocaust Library.

SUMMARY:Virtual Student Revision: Democracy and Nazism - The Racial State
DESCRIPTION:Sign carried by group of Jewish men reads ‘God will not leave us’ following the events of the November Pogrom\, 1938. \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:  \n\nKS3 History\nGCSE History Edexcel: Weimar and Nazi Germany 1918-1939\nGCSE History OCR: Germany 1925-1955\, The People and The State\nEdexcel A-Level History: Germany and West Germany\, 1918–89\nOCR History: Democracy and Dictatorships in Germany 1919–1963\nAQA History: Democracy and Nazism\, Germany 1918-1945

SUMMARY:Remembering Judith Kerr
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the centenary of Judith Kerr\, best-selling illustrator and author of books including When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit\, The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Mog the Forgetful Cat\, and refugee from Nazi Germany. Author and academic Dr Deborah Vietor-Engländer will discuss Judith’s life from her time in Berlin and escaping Germany with her family in 1933 to coming to London early in 1936 as a refugee. \nAbout the speaker: Dr Deborah Engländer is the author of a 700 page biography of Judith´s father Alfred Kerr and also edited three volumes of his works. She was first given When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by her sister who was a Winton child to try and explain her own childhood. Deborah’s fascination with Alfred Kerr and the similarity with her own family history has inspired her work. She knew Judith Kerr well for many years and is President of the Alfred Kerr Foundation created by Judith and Sir Michael Kerr. \nBook for sale: Judith Kerr’s Creatures (Harper Collins) \nThis event is part of Migration: a public history festival\, a series of lectures\, exhibitions\, workshops and walks around London\, supported by the Raphael Samuel History Centre. \nFrom 31st May a new mini-exhibition will be on display in the Wolfson Reading Room\, The Kerr Family in Flight. It includes fascinating objects and documents detailing the journey of Judith\, her brother and their parents as they fled  Nazi persecution.
