SUMMARY:Simon Parkin: The Island of Extraordinary Captives
DESCRIPTION:The police came for Peter Fleischmann in the early hours. It reminded the teenager of the Gestapo’s moonlit roundups that he had narrowly avoided at home in Berlin. Now having endured a perilous journey to reach England –– hiding from the rampaging Nazi thugs at his orphanage\, boarding a kinder transport to safety –– here the aspiring artist was on a ship bound for the Isle of Man\, suspected of being a Nazi spy. What had gone wrong? \nIn May 1940 faced with a country gripped by paranoia Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered the internment of all German and Austrian citizens living in Britain. Most\, like Peter\, were refugees who had come to the country to escape Nazi oppression. Now they were imprisoned by the very country in which they had staked their trust. \nJoin British journalist and author Simon Parkin for a talk to coincide with the publication of his new book. Painstakingly researched from dozens of unpublished first-hand accounts and previously classified documents\, The Island of Extraordinary Captives: A True Story of an Artist\, a Spy and a Wartime Scandal tells the story of Hutchinson Camp in Douglas on the Isle of Man\, history’s most astonishing internment camp\, and of how a group of world-renowned artists\, musicians\, and academics came to be seen as enemy aliens. \nIt is the story of a battle between fear and compassion at a time of national crisis. It reveals how Britain’s treatment of refugees during the Second World War led to one of the nation’s most shameful missteps\, and how hope and creativity can flourish in even the most challenging circumstances. \nTo book\, click here. \nPLEASE NOTE: Simon’s book can be purchased online by those attending this talk at £4 off the cover price of £20.\n \nIMAGE: Book cover – The Island of Extraordinary Captives by Simon Parkin

SUMMARY:Transit by Anna Seghers: A New Translation
DESCRIPTION:Image: Bookcover\, Transit\nAn existential\, political\, literary thriller first published in 1944\, based partly on the author’s own experiences\, Transit by German Jewish Communist writer Anna Seghers explores the plight of the refugee with extraordinary compassion and insight. \nHaving escaped from a Nazi concentration camp in Germany and a work camp in Rouen\, the nameless narrator finds himself in the dusty seaport of Marseille. Along the way he was asked to deliver a letter to Weidel\, a writer in Paris whom he discovered had killed himself as the Nazis entered the city. Now he is in search of the dead man’s wife. He carries Weidel’s suitcase\, which contains an unfinished novel – and a letter securing Weidel a visa to escape France. \nAssuming the name Seidler – though the authorities think he is in fact Weidel – he goes from cafe to cafe looking for Marie\, who is in turn anxiously searching for her husband. As Seidler converses with refugees over pizza and wine\, their stories gradually break down his ennui\, bringing him a deeper awareness of the transitory world they inhabit as they wait and wait for that most precious of possessions: transit papers. \nPrizewinning author Stuart Evers\, who wrote the introduction to the new English edition\, in which he describes the novel as a ‘genuine\, fully fledged masterpiece of the twentieth century; one that remains just as terrifyingly relevant and truthful in the twenty-first’\, will be joined by Dr. Anthony Grenville\, an expert on German exile literature\, and (tbc) Christian Petzold\, director of the 2018 feature film Transit. \nTo book\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer Langer: The Search
DESCRIPTION:Dr Jennifer Langer in conversation with fellow poet Dr Aviva Dautch about her debut poetry collection The Search & about Exiled Writers Ink \nThe Search by Jennifer Langer is an exploration of the poet’s complex sense of identity as the daughter of German Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany for Britain. Crucially\, her sensibility of otherness is dialogically engaged with contemporary refugees and the oppressed. Born of the history of loss and of refugee roots\, the poet dreams of a lost world attempting to snatch at fragments and striving to create a narrative yet she is also compelled to confront current tensions arising from the diverse facets of this identity.  \nJennifer is founding director of Exiled Writers Ink which brings together established and developing migrant and refugee writers from repressive regimes and war-torn situations. Established in 2000\, it is an ever-expanding organisation that provides a space for exiled writers to be heard\, develops and promotes their creative literary expression\, and advocates human rights through literature and literary activism. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Last Train to London by Meg Waite Clayton
DESCRIPTION:Online Event\nOn Tuesday 16 March at 8pm\, Los Angeles-based writer Meg Waite Clayton will talk about her acclaimed novel Last Train to London\, published by HarperCollins. This is a powerful pre-WWII era novel based on the true story of the Kindertransport rescue of ten thousand children from Nazi-occupied Europe—and one brave Dutch woman\, Truus Wijsmuller\, who helped some of them escape. Although a bestseller in the US and many other countries\, it is less well-known in the UK than it deserves to be. \nTo book click here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bauer & Seiber: Remarkable Parents & Their Artistic Circles
DESCRIPTION:György Buday\, Lilla\, woodcut\nTalk\nZoom Event organised by Cambridge Szeged Society \nJulia Seiber Boyd \n“Much is written about Mátyás Seiber by musicologists\, but I knew by age of 5\, that I was not going to be a musician\, he was just my father. He said virtually nothing about his early life – so I have had to put much of that together and find documents and records. These had all been donated to the British Library in the 1980-90. He was killed when I was 11 so this has been a voyage of discovery in many ways. \n2020 marks the 60th Anniversary of his death\, and although covid-19 destroyed many plans for that\, it has still been marked by the Royal College of Music – broadcast with help from the Hungarian Cultural Centre as part of the Insiders Outsiders Festival in November 2020. This looked at the wide span of his musical output – from Liszt Academy\, to Frankfurt as Professor of Jazz\, to London and establishing his reputation as the best teacher of composition. \nIn 1946\, in London\, he married my mother\, (Lilla Bauer)\, a dancer with the Modern Dance Ballet Joöss & then lecturer at Goldsmith’s College\, London. She survived until she was 99 and told me rather more about her upbringing and my architect grandfather. Her life in the 1930s was pretty colourful – travels with the company of Kurt Joöss & choreographer Rudolf Laban\, her long relationship with wood cut artist György Buday\, ending in 1938 – and her move to London. They never met again\, but ended up living less than 10 miles apart. \nIn 2019\, quite by accident I discovered the British Museum held 2 folders of Buday’s work. On examination these included 14 portraits of his muse\, Lilla Bauer – on and off stage from 1933-38. Their lives were far from ordinary & provide good subject matter for talks & further research.” \nTo register for this event\, email Rowland or Szylvia \n

SUMMARY:The Missing: The True Story of My Family in World War II - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library\, London\nBy turns charming\, shocking and heart-breaking\, this is the true story of Michael Rosen’s search for his relatives who “went missing” during the Second World War – told through prose\, poetry\, maps\, and pictures. When Michael was growing up\, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war\, he would say\, and weren’t after. \nOver many years\, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members\, scoured the internet\, pored over books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here\, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust. \nMichael will be in conversation with the Library’s Senior Curator and Head of Education\, Dr Barbara Warnock.
