SUMMARY:Hybrid Curators’ Talk: Holocaust Letters with Christine Schmidt\, Sandra Lipner
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series. Participants can register to attend in person or online.  \nJoin the curators of the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership’s latest exhibition\, Holocaust Letters\, to learn more about how they developed the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Letters as People: Emotion and Information in the Correspondence of German-Jewish Refugees from Nazism 1933-45
DESCRIPTION:A composite letter from members of the Böhm family in Antwerp to Theodor Hirschberg in London. University of Southampton Special Collections\, Papers of Theodor Hirschberg\, MS 314/1/77 \nThis event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series organised by the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership.  \nThe 1930s/40s saw thousands of German-Jewish refugees seek asylum in locations across the world\, with the by-product being the enforced fracturing of family networks and the shared world in which they inhabited. During this period\, contact between separated family members continued\, albeit minimised\, with the aim of gaining information on the health and location of loved ones being of primary importance. Abruptly\, space was injected into close familial relationships\, with letters acting as the bridge between separated parties and thus creating their own metaphysical ‘epistolary space’ often in replacement of physical spaces. Conversations on emigration efforts\, familial life and geopolitical concerns moved from within the home on to pieces of paper\, as family units dispersed. Discussions altered and adapted into a new epistolary space\, albeit one often burdened with the ineffability of their situation.   \nIn this presentation\, postgraduate researcher Charlie Knight will discuss the correspondences of five families whose archives are held in both private collections and public institutions. The presentation will touch upon a number of key research questions including: How did the writers and addressees understand the role and importance of these letters? What emotional strategies can be identified within the correspondences? How is information/knowledge disused and transferred within this new ‘epistolary space’? And what early knowledge of the Holocaust could be ascertained from these objects? Finally this presentation will reflect on the methodology and place of the researcher within this project\, as well as the letters’ hapticity and materiality.   \nCharlie Knight is a Postgraduate Researcher at the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton. He is funded by the Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarship in the Humanities for his research into German-Jewish refugees from Nazism in Britain. Charlie was the joint postgraduate representative for the British and Irish Association for Holocaust Studies in the 2021/22 academic year\, and currently teaches German History at the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies at UCL. He is also the co-organiser of the international workshop ‘Letter Writing in Holocaust Studies’ held at the Wiener Holocaust Library\, and has himself spoken at conferences in the UK\, Germany and Israel. His most recent publication ‘Constructing narratives: considerations in the letters of Theodor M. W. Hirschberg and his family’ was published in Jewish Culture and History in 2022.

SUMMARY:Virtual Exhibition Panel: Jewish Archives\, Artefacts and Memory in Transit
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library’s current exhibition\, Holocaust Letters\, examines Holocaust-era private correspondence as sites of knowledge production as well as for their traces of the material past\, including enforced Jewish migration. \nWith the soon-to-launched virtual Holocaust Letters exhibition as a starting point\, this virtual panel will explore new ways and research into thinking about archives\, artefacts and other primary sources\, including material sources as well as those not held in traditional archives to help us gain deeper insight into the history of Jewish refugees in transit and the knowledge those migrants possessed\, produced\, transmitted\, or lost. \nThe panelists will discuss what happens when migrants leave their homes and try to convey both the sense of loss and the disorienting experience of learning to live somewhere new\, in correspondence and artefacts that capture experiences before\, during or after their migration. In terms of correspondence\, how are their words crafted and understood\, depending on who they are writing to and when? How do Holocaust-era letters\, photographs\, and other artefacts communicate experiences? What happens to the “archive” in the context of transoceanic migration or persecution\, such as the Holocaust? \nThis event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series organised by the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership in partnership with the German Historical Institute London\, the German Historical Institute Washington with its Pacific Office at UC Berkeley\, and the California Institute of Technology. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr Christine Schmidt\, Deputy Director and Head of Research\, Wiener Holocaust Library: Introduction and Holocaust Letters\nProf Simone Lässig\, Director\, German Historical Institute Washington: The Research Field „In Global Transit“ – An Introduction\nDr Anna-Carolin Augustin\, Research Fellow\, German Historical Institute Washington: Jewish Ritual Objects in Transit: Archives of Knowledge or Vessels of Memory?\nDr Indra Sangupta\, Head of India Research Programme\, German Historical Institute London: Notes on The City as Refuge: Jewish Calcutta and Refugees from Hitler’s Europe.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Lord Daniel Finkelstein and Professor Philippe Sands
DESCRIPTION:An event to mark the publication of Daniel Finkelstein’s Hitler\, Stalin\, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival  \nDaniel Finkelstein’s family experience at the hands of the two genocidal dictators of the 20th century is one of miraculous survival. His mother Mirjam Wiener was the youngest of three daughters born in Germany to Alfred and Margarete Wiener. Alfred Wiener was the founder of The Wiener Holocaust Library and a decorated hero from the Great War. He is now widely acknowledged to have been the first person to recognise the existential danger Hitler posed to the Jews and began\, in 1933\, to catalogue in detail Nazi crimes. After moving his family to Amsterdam\, he relocated the Library’s predecessor organisation to London and was preparing to bring over his wife and children when Germany invaded Holland. Before long\, the family was rounded up\, robbed\, humiliated\, and sent to Bergen-Belsen camp. \nDaniel’s father Ludwik was born in Lwow\, the only child of a prosperous Jewish family. In 1939\, after Hitler and Stalin carved up Poland\, the family was rounded up by the communists and sent to do hard labour in a Siberian gulag. Working as slave labourers on a collective farm\, his father survived the freezing winters in a tiny house they built from cow dung. \nAbout the speakers\nDaniel Finkelstein is a British journalist and opinion writer. A former executive editor of The Times\, he continues to write for the paper. He has been Political Columnist of the Year four times and recently joined the board of Chelsea Football Club. He was appointed to the House of Lords in 2013. \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 the former 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\, was published in September 2022.

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2023: The Erosion of Human Rights Protections for Refugees in the UK\, with René Cassin
DESCRIPTION:Both the recent Nationality and Borders Act and the Illegal Migration Bill currently being debated in Parliament contribute to an increasingly difficult situation for asylum-seekers and refugees in the UK. \nRefugees seeking safety on our shores after fleeing persecution and violence face: \n\nThe complete lack of ‘safe and legal routes’ outside bespoke schemes or resettlement programmes\nThe shrinking of human rights obligations and endangering of vulnerable people by outsourcing asylum to third countries\nThe cruel\, inhumane\, and ineffective practice of immigration detention\nThe ill-conceived conflation of immigration policy with policies on trafficking and slavery\n\nIn this joint event\, René Cassin and the Wiener Library build on the 2023 Refugee Week’s theme of ‘compassion’ and explore the UK’s attitudes and commitment to refugees over time – from attitudes\, policy and practical implementation – and a hopeful and positive change to the current situation. \nOur panel will explore: \nThe past – the legacy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the Refugees Convention (1951); The present – the current framework\, and how today’s refugees experience it; The future – the hopeful potential of alternative paths and approaches. \nAbout the speakers\nDr Louise London: Louise is author of the leading book\, Whitehall and the Jews 1933-1948: British Immigration Policy\, Jewish refugees and the Holocaust (Cambridge University Press\, 2000). She has published and lectured widely on the history of British policy towards immigrants\, Jews and refugees since 1900. Once a practicing lawyer specialising in immigration cases\, she is currently writing an article on 20th century legal restrictions on the rights of aliens. \nEnver Solomon: Enver is Chief Executive Officer at Refugee Council. Before joining the Refugee Council\, he held senior management posts at the National Children’s Bureau\, the Children’s Society and Barnardos. He has also sat on advisory boards at the Department for Education\, HM Inspector of Prisons and the Office of the Children’s Commissioner. His Chairmanship roles have included the Standing Committee for Youth Justice\, End Child Poverty Campaign and the trustee board of Asylum Aid. \nZofia Duszynska: Zofia is a Director in the Immigration department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. She supervises a team of solicitors and caseworkers and specialise in asylum\, human rights and public law work\, representing victims of torture\, human trafficking and gender-based persecution as well as those excluded from the protection of the Refugee Convention. \nDr Toby Simpson and Mia Hasenson-Gross (Moderators): Toby is Director of the Wiener Holocaust Library and Mia is René Cassin’s Executive Director.

SUMMARY:Living Memory: Photographic Exhibition and Slideshow\, Reception with the artist
DESCRIPTION:Produced during the summer of 2020\, the Living Memory project showcases artist Catrine Val’s poignant and astonishing photographic portraits of London’s Jewish community. The project was produced during the profound dislocation caused by the pandemic and as the Holocaust begins to slip slowly from ‘living memory’. \n\n\n\nVal’s unique photographic portraits feature Holocaust survivors and those whose parents arrived as part of the ‘Kindertransport’\, as well as Jewish families from all over the world who have made London their home. They will be shown at the Library from the 19 – 23 June\, marking Refugee Week. \nThe project has personal resonance for Val\, who is engaged in an ongoing process of seeking context and greater understanding of her own German-Jewish heritage\, a history which she has only recently been able to acknowledge and engage with. \nLiving Memory 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. The exhibition will be shown alongside the Wiener Library’s Holocaust Letters exhibition. This event will be held in the exhibition space with a chance to see the project in person. \nThere is no need to register as an attendee\, please simply arrive at the Library for 3pm.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Lunchtime Exhibition Talk: Red Cross Messages from Nazi Germany\, with Anthony Grenville
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series organised by the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership.  \nRed Cross messages had been introduced during the First World War\, when an urgent need developed for a means that would re-establish the communications that had been severed by the conflict\, for example between prisoners of war and their families at home. During the Second World War\, as conventional means of communication were increasingly denied to Jews trapped in the Third Reich\, Red Cross messages came to play a vital part in what remained of the contacts between those Jews and their family members who had escaped abroad; little systematic attention has\, however\, as yet been devoted to them. The restriction of those contacts to brief messages of 25 words reflected the cruel restrictions that were imposed on Jews in the Third Reich in almost all aspects of the final stage of their lives before their deportation to the east. This talk will examine as an example the communications between my mother\, Gertrude Grünfeld (Grenville)\, in London and her parents in Vienna\, as these developed from normal letters to the use of a post office box in neutral Portugal and finally to Red Cross messages.  \nAbout the Speaker  \nDr Anthony Grenville\, BA\, D.Phil (Oxford)\, lectured in German at the Universities of Reading\, Bristol and Westminster\, 1971-96. He worked for the Association of Jewish Refugees\, including as Editor of its monthly publication\, AJR Journal\, 2006-17. He is a founder member of the Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies\, University of London\, and has been its Chair since 2013. He served on the executive committee of the Gesellschaft für Exilforschung (Society for Exile Studies) and was awarded honorary membership in 2021. He co-created the exhibition Continental Britons (Jewish Museum\, 2002) and co-founded the AJR’s Refugee Voices collection of filmed interviews. He has published numerous books and articles in the field of exile studies\, including Jewish Refugees from Germany and Austria in Britain\, 1933-1970 (2010).  \nThis event is free\, although registration via the link below is required. Please note that our free events are run by staff volunteers. Thank you for your patience should we have any technical or audio difficulties.
