SUMMARY:In conversation: Darfur20/Sudan – Justice\, accountability\, impunity
DESCRIPTION:A joint Wiener Holocaust Library and Waging Peace event to mark 20 years since the start of genocide in Darfur\, and renewed violence across Sudan in 2023 \nHM King Charles and Amouna Adam discuss a peacebuilding project facilitated by Waging Peace named ‘Peace by Piece’ at a Sudanese community gathering in March 2023\, © Sam Churchill \nIn this event our expert panel will discuss the ongoing impact of ethnic cleansing and war on Darfur\, in this\, the twentieth anniversary of the internationally recognised start of the genocide perpetrated against non-Arab Darfuri people by Sudanese government forces and Janjaweed militia. The panel will include international justice practitioners and advocates\, representatives from the International Criminal Court\, as well as Abdallah Abugarda Idriss\, Mohammed Ibrahim\, Tajeldeen Ismail and Nagmelden Osman\, leading members of the Darfur Diaspora Association. \nCurrently\, the largest displacement crisis in the world is in Sudan\, where 7.1 million people are displaced internally\, 4.5 million of whom were displaced since violence erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in mid-April 2023. A further 1.25 million have been forced to cross borders by conflict and genocidal policies. British Minister for Africa\, the Rt. Hon. Andrew Mitchell MP has recently described the situation in the Sudanese region of Darfur as ‘bearing all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing’. \nThe International Criminal Court is currently investigating historical war crimes in Sudan and the war crimes occurring today\, and the panel will consider how the lack of justice and accountability with respect to the genocide from 2003 has enabled some of the groups responsible to once again commit atrocities in 2023. \nFurther details of speakers to follow. \nThis event will take place in person at the Library and online. \nFurther information from Waging Peace\, a human rights organisation that campaigns against genocide and human rights abuses in Sudan and support Sudanese refugees in Britain: \n\n20 years of genocide in Darfur\, a guest contribution by Eric Reeves\nThe situation in Adre\, by Khadidja Fadoul\nPeace in Sudan depends on justice for the Darfur genocide\, by Professor Mukesh Kapila CBE\n\nA drawing by a child survivor of genocide in Darfur\, depicting what they witnessed during the genocide\, 2007\, Wiener Holocaust Library Collections \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Book talk: Andrea Hammel\, The Kindertransport: what really happened
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed\, watch the recording via the Library’s YouTube channel. \nJoin The Wiener Holocaust Library to mark the publication of Andrea Hammel’s important new book on the Kindertransport child rescue scheme\, based on extensive new research. \nThe first train of the Kindertransport 1938/39 arrived in the UK almost exactly 85 years ago. The scheme has long been celebrated as a British humanitarian success and is known to the wider British public. But research has shown that the circumstances of the scheme and its implementation were complex and not always motivated by altruism. Children were separated from their parents; the scheme lacked governmental support; it relied on the enthusiasm of private citizens and struggling charities. \nIn this talk Andrea Hammel will show what really happened using her research into governmental and organisational records as well as oral testimonies and ego documents. \nAbout the speaker\nAndrea Hammel is Professor of German and the Director of the Centre for the Movement of People at Aberystwyth University. She has researched refugees from National Socialism who fled to the UK for over 20 years. She led a project on Refugees from National Socialism in Wales: Learning from the Past for the Future which involved co-curators who are refugees from Syria\, Afghanistan and Kuwait resulting in an exhibition which has been showing at Aberystwyth\, the Senedd\, the Houses of Parliament and in Bangor (see also: Finding Refuge: Stories of the men women and children who fled to Wales to escape the Nazis\, 2022) . Andrea Hammel has co-written two reports on Adverse Childhood Experiences and Child Refugees of the 1930s which were presented to the Welsh Government.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture\, Resisters: How ordinary Jews fought persecution in Hitler’s Germany\, by Professor Wolf Gruner
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute\, Royal Holloway\, University of London) \nIn this lecture from the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism\, Professor Wolf Gruner will speak about his latest publication\, Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler’s Germany. \nDrawing on twelve years of research in dozens of archives in Austria\, Germany\, Israel\, and the United States\, this book tells the story of five Jewish people – a merchant\, a homemaker\, a real estate broker\, and two teenagers – who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. \nThese stories have not been told until now\, and each case is one of many\, as Professor Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943\, upending the notion of passive Jews and expanding the concept of resistance. \nEach individual described here represents a category of resistance: written opposition\, oral protest\, contesting Nazi propaganda\, defiance of anti-Jewish laws and measures\, and self-defence against verbal and physical attacks. Many of these courageous acts resulted in the resisters\, men and women\, being prosecuted and put on trial\, and often receiving harsh punishments\, while some led to acquittal by courts and others to changes in Nazi policies. Taken together\, these accounts reframe our understanding of German Jewish attitudes during the Holocaust\, while also providing an astonishing examination of the complex Nazi reactions to the many individual acts of Jewish resistance. \nAbout the Speaker\nWolf Gruner is the Shapell Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies and Professor of History at the University of Southern California. He is the founding Director of the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research\, and the author of ten books on the Holocaust. He lives in Los Angeles\, CA. \nA drinks reception and book signing will follow the lecture. \nSign up to attend the lecture here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Student and Teacher Talk: Forgotten Victims: The Nazi Genocide of the Roma and Sinti
DESCRIPTION:Margarete Kraus\, a Czech Roma who survived the Holocaust \nPart of the Wiener Holocaust Library’s free series of educational events for students and teachers\, drawing on our unique archive collection.\nOn 16 December 1942\, a decree was issued by Himmler to move all Sinti and Roma in Reich Territory to Auschwitz\, where a special camp had been built to hold them. Following the order\, more than 22\,000 Roma (most of the remaining Roma in Germany) were rounded up and sent. Just a few survived. \nThis workshop marks 81 years since that decree and yet little is known about the genocide carried out against the Roma and Sinti communities of Europe by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Second World War.  Referred to as ‘the forgotten Holocaust’ by Professor Eve Rosenhaft\, this workshop draws upon The Wiener Holocaust Library’s collections of material on the genocide to uncover the story of this understudied aspect of Nazi persecution. \nAims:  \n\nTo find out who the Roma are\nTo gain an overview of Roma history in Europe\nTo consider Nazi policies towards Roma\n\nVirtual Event 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\, please type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A. Your webcam will not be seen during this event.\n\nThis event is free\, although registration via the link below is required. Please note that our free events are run by staff volunteers.
