SUMMARY:Exhibition Launch: 'IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS'  a daughter’s response to her father’s silence\, with Learning from the Righteous and Finchley Reform Synagogue
DESCRIPTION:Within weeks of the Anschluss\, Wilhelm Pollak (Bill Powell)\, was arrested and spent the following ten months in Dachau and Buchenwald. After arriving in the UK in May ’39\, he spent a year interned in Canada and eventually returned to Britain to join the Pioneer Corp\, unable to speak about his camp experiences; a silence he kept for the rest of his life. After his death\, his daughter\, the ceramicist Jenny Stolzenberg\, created an instalment of shoes in his memory – describing it as “the conversation they were never able to have; a creative response to his silence”. Before her untimely death\, in 2016\, Jenny’s work was exhibited widely\, and to high acclaim\, including at the Imperial War Museum and Buchenwald Museum. \nBy researching previously neglected diaries and letters held at the Wiener Library\, and accessing numerous documents held in archives across the world\, Antony Lishak\, CEO of the Holocaust education charity Learning from the Righteous has been able to construct a comprehensive account of what happened to Wilhelm\, and the family he left behind in Vienna. During the evening he will talk about how these discoveries add extra poignancy to Jenny’s evocative memorial\, and explain her father’s silence. \nLearning from the Righteous and Finchley Reform Synagogue’s HMD Group are honoured to help fulfil Jenny’s family’s wish that her work continues to provoke reflection. They are delighted that the new IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS travelling exhibition will enable schools\, colleges and communal spaces to display these remarkable shoes\, each bearing witness to a life cut short. We are grateful for the support of The Association of Jewish Refugees and the Austrian Cultural Forum in staging this event. \nJoin us for the launch of the exhibition at The Wiener Holocaust Library \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Holocaust Memorial Day 2024 Lecture by Barbara Yelin: “But I Live” – Emmie Arbel’s Illustrated Story of the Fragility of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for the History of the German Jews in Hamburg\, the Wiener Holocaust Library London and the Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Leicester are pleased to co-host a virtual lecture for Holocaust Memorial Day 2024. \nThe event is organised in response to the 2024 HMD theme “The Fragility of Freedom” which invites us to consider the erosion of freedom by perpetrator regimes\, including key rights such as freedom as expression\, of religion and of movement. \nThis event engages with the misconception that liberation means the end of suffering and the start of a free life. Whilst allied liberators freed Holocaust survivors from the physical imprisonment of concentration camps\, the prisoners then found themselves alone\, often unable to return home\, and having to move to a new country\, learn a new language and rebuild their lives from scratch. They had to rebuild new lives with the painful absence of family members and friends. \nSuch was the experience of Emmie Arbel\, who was 5 when the Nazis had deported her and her family from their home in the Netherlands. Liberated at the age of seven-and-a-half\, her start into a new life as an orphan confronted her with new painful experiences. Artist Barbara Yelin finds sensitive and powerful ways to tell Emmie’s story of the fragility of freedom as a moving graphic novel. \nAbout the Speaker \nBarbara Yelin studied illustration at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. She is the author of numerous research-based\, historical and biographical Graphic Novels about women. In 2014\, she published the award-winning book Irmina\, the story of a German woman who chose to connive with the Nazi regime. Supported by the Goethe Insitute Israel\, Yelin memorialised the life of Israeli actress Channa Maron\, published in 2016 as Vor allem eins: Dir selbst sei treu. \nHer illustration of Emmie Arbel’s life is the result of an intimate co-creation of the graphic novelist and the Holocaust survivor that first appeared in the anthology But I Live: Three Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust published by University of Toronto Press in 2021. It has since developed into a comprehensive account of Emmie Arbel’s experiences during and after the Holocaust published as Emmie Arbel: Die Farbe der Erinnerung. \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Online Holocaust Memorial Day Lecture: The Wiener Library at 90\, Ruth Wiener's Story
DESCRIPTION:A Holocaust Memorial day lecture with the University of York. \nThis event is organised in response to the 2024 HMD theme of ‘Fragility of Freedom’. \nRuth Wiener was the first daughter of Dr Margarethe Wiener and Dr Alfred Wiener\, the Wiener Holocaust Library’s founder. Born in Berlin in 1927\, Ruth spent the early years of her life in Germany before she relocated with her Father\, Mother\, and her two sisters Eva and Mirjam to Amsterdam\, Holland. \nJoin Barbara Warnock to hear how life changed for the Wiener family following the Nazi occupation of Holland.  On the morning of 20 June 1943\, Margarethe\, Ruth\, Eva and Mirjam were detained by the Nazis and sent to Westerbork\, a transit camp in the south of Holland.  In January 1944\, after seven months in Westerbork\, the family were deported to Bergen-Belsen. Ruth survived both camps and was one of the few people to escape Bergen-Belsen on an exchange scheme in January 1945. \nRuth’s papers were donated to the Library by her son\, Michael Klemens\, in 2014. The story that unfolds within her documents is both compelling and extraordinary. By showcasing items from this unique collection\, this talk aims to give an insight into the incredible journey and life of Ruth Wiener. \nSign up to attend online here.
