SUMMARY:Book Talk: In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City\, John Kampfner
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Wiener Holocaust at Ninety exhibition event series.\nJoin us for an evening event to mark the publication of In Search of Berlin: The Story of a Reinvented City. \nEver since John Kampfner was a young journalist in Communist East Berlin\, he hasn’t been able to get the city out of his mind. It is a place tortured by its past\, obsessed with memories\, a place where traumas are unleashed and the traumatised have gathered. \nOver the past four years Kampfner has walked the length and breadth of Berlin\, delving into the archives\, and talking to historians and writers\, architects and archaeologists. He clambers onto a fallen statue of Lenin; he rummages in boxes of early Medieval bones; he learns about the cabaret star so outrageous she was thrown out of the city. \nBerlin has been a military barracks\, industrial powerhouse\, centre of learning\, hotbed of decadence – and the laboratory for the worst experiment in horror known to man.  Now a city of refuge\, it is home to 180 nationalities\, and more than a quarter of the population has a migrant background. Berlin never stands still. It is never satisfied. It never believes it has the answer. But it is now the irresistible capital to which the world is gravitating. \nIn Search of Berlin is an 800-year story\, a dialogue between past and present; it is a new way of looking at this turbulent and beguiling city on its never-ending journey of reinvention. \nAbout the Speaker\nJohn Kampfner is an award-winning author\, broadcaster and foreign-affairs commentator. He began his career reporting from East Berlin (during the fall of the Wall) and Moscow (during the collapse of communism) for the Telegraph. After covering British politics for the Financial Times and BBC\, he edited the New Statesman. \nHe is a regular TV and radio pundit\, documentary maker and author of six previous books\, including the bestselling Blair’s Wars.  His most recent book\, Why the Germans Do it Better\, was a top ten bestseller\, Book of the Year in the Guardian\, Economist and the New Statesman\, and sold over 100\,000 copies in all editions.

SUMMARY:Daniel Finkelstein in conversation with Sam Finkelstein on Hitler\, Stalin\, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival
DESCRIPTION:A Red Cross Telegram sent by Margarete Wiener to Alfred Wiener explaining that the family had been unable to obtain exit permits from the Netherlands. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust at Ninety exhibition event series.\nJoin Daniel Finkelstein at the Library for a discussion of his family memoir with his son Sam\, who acted as the first reader of the book. The event will also be a chance to view the Library’s ninetieth anniversary exhibitions\, one of which\, The Wiener Family Story\, features some of the documents and stories that are featured in Finkelstein’s book. \nAbout the book: Daniel 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 speaker\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.

SUMMARY:Laurien Vastenhout: The Holocaust in the Netherlands: the ‘Dutch paradox’
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Wiener’s certificate acknowledging her registration as a person of ‘wholly or partly Jewish blood’ as required by the German occupying authorities in the Netherlands\, April 1941. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library at 90 exhibition events series. \nAround three quarters (75%) of the Jews in the Netherlands were murdered during the Holocaust. Compared to Belgium (40%) and France (25%)\, this is by far the highest death rate in Western Europe. \nSince the Netherlands is known for its supposed tradition of tolerance towards minorities\, the question why so many Jews were deported and killed has occupied a central place in Dutch Holocaust historiography. \nIn this talk\, Dr Laurien Vastenhout presents an explanatory framework for this so-called ‘Dutch paradox’. In doing so\, she not only provides an insight into how the Holocaust unfolded in the Netherlands\, but also address some persistent misconceptions about the role of the Jewish community leadership – specifically\, the Dutch Jewish Council – in the process of isolation and deportation of the Jews during the German occupation. \nAbout the speaker\nDr Laurien Vastenhout is researcher and assistant professor at NIOD Institute for War\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies / the University of Amsterdam. She obtained her PhD at the University of Sheffield in 2020. \nIn 2022\, her book Between Community and Collaboration: ‘Jewish Councils’ in Western Europe under Nazi Occupation was published by Cambridge University Press. Vastenhout was recently granted a Dutch Research Council (NWO) VENI award for her project ‘Intermarriage and Family: Survival during War\, Occupation and Genocide’\, which will her research focus the coming years.

SUMMARY:Virtual Teacher Talk: The Oppression of the Black Community in Nazi-Occupied Europe
DESCRIPTION:The prisoner registration card of Gert Schramm \nPart of the Wiener Holocaust Library’s free series of educational events for students and teachers\, drawing on our unique archive collection.\nThis education event is hosted in partnership with The German History Society \nBlack people experienced persecution and discrimination before\, during and after the Third Reich in Germany and elsewhere. This workshop will utilise the Library’s collections to explore how the persecution of Black people by the Nazi regime was not straightforward. There was a clear genocidal intention in Nazi policy towards Black men\, women\, and children\, but at a local level the implementation of these intentions was inconsistent and often haphazard\, which created a wide variety of experiences of persecution. \nThis virtual session is aimed at teachers and educators and will serve as an introduction to the topic – the themes introduced here will be developed further in a more intensive in-person workshop to take place in the spring. This event will be led by Dr Barbara Warnock\, Professor Robbie Aitken and Dr Jeff Bowersox. \nAims:  \n\nTo gain an overview of black history in Europe.\nTo consider Nazi policies towards black people.\nTo use the Library’s collection to explore the persecution and discrimination the black community faced in Nazi-Occupied Europe.\nTo gain an overview of Black history in Europe and of resources to support teaching on the subject.\n\nAbout the Speakers\nDr Barbara Warnock is the Library’s Senior Curator and Head of Education. \nProfessor Robbie Aitken is an Historian of Black Europe and Empire at Sheffield Hallam University. He has written widely on the development of a Black community in Germany from the 1880s up to 1945. His publications include Black Germany\, the Making and Unmaking of a Diaspora Community\, 1884-1960\, (with Eve Rosenhaft). Currently he is finishing a longer article on the Nuremberg Race Laws and their application to Black German residents. \nDr. Jeff Bowersox is an associate professor of German history at UCL. He researches and teaches on the connections that tied Germans and Europeans into the globalizing world of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

SUMMARY:Book event: Thomas Harding in conversation with Aviva Dautch about The Maverick – George Weidenfeld and the Golden Age of Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Join The Wiener Holocaust Library and Jewish Renaissance to mark the publication of Thomas Harding’s The Maverick – the story of the famed publisher George Weidenfeld\, who transformed not only publishing but the culture of ideas\, from his struggles as an Austrian-Jewish refugee in London to his rise as a world-renowned literary figure. \nAfter arriving in London just before the Second World War as a penniless and friendless Austrian-Jewish refugee\, George Weidenfeld went on to transform not only the world of publishing but the culture of ideas. The books that he published include momentous titles such as Lolita\, Double Helix\, The Group and The Hedgehog and the Fox\, with authors he championed ranging from Joan Didion\, Mary McCarthy\, Golda Meir and Edna O’Brien to Henry Miller\, Harold Wilson\, Saul Bellow and Henry Kissinger. \nIn this first biography\, Thomas Harding provides a full\, unvarnished and at times difficult history of a complex and fascinating character. Throughout his long career\, George Weidenfeld was written about in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, Time\, Vanity Fair and other publications. Was he\, as described by some\, the ‘greatest salesperson’\, ‘the world’s best networker’\, ‘the publisher’s publisher’ and ‘a great intellectual’? Was his lifelong effort to be the world’s most famous host a cover for his desperate loneliness? Who\, in fact\, was the real George Weidenfeld and how did he rise so successfully within the ranks of London and New York society? \nCovering topics such as democracy\, identity\, the plight of refugees\, globalism\, the liberal international order\, tension in the Middle East\, inter-generational trauma and reconciliation\, and dialogue between faiths\, the issues that George Weidenfeld faced are still as current and relevant today. \nPraise for The Maverick \n‘Thomas Harding has doggedly unearthed fascinating and surprising tales from George Weidenfeld’s life as he rose from poverty and Nazi persecution to become one of the world’s most powerful publishers. Harding reveals a complex personality in a richly told narrative that leaves the reader awed’ – LYNN MEDFORD\, former editor\, Washington Post Magazine \n‘The Maverick anchors George Weidenfeld as one of the foremost influencers in modern literature and a man who rose from extraordinary circumstances to lead an even more extraordinary life. \nA treasure trove of insight and history’ – ARIANNA HUFFINGTON \nAbout the speakers: \nThomas Harding is a bestselling author whose books have been translated into more than sixteen languages. He has written for the Sunday Times\, the Washington Post and the Guardian\, among other publications. His books include Hanns and Rudolf\, which won the JQ-Wingate Prize for Non-Fiction; The House by the Lake\, which was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award; Blood on the Page\, which won the Crime Writers’ Association ‘Golden Dagger Award for Non-Fiction’ and White Debt: The Demerara Uprising and Britain’s Legacy of Slavery. \nAviva Dautch is a poet and the Executive Director of Jewish Renaissance. She has a PhD in contemporary poetry and her poems have been published in magazines and anthologies internationally. She was recently selected as one of the winners of the Primers Prize for emerging voices and received an Authors’ Foundation Grant from The Society of Authors. She has lectured on modern Jewish culture at the University of Roehampton\, the London School of Jewish Studies and JW3.
