SUMMARY:Of Penguins\, Albatrosses\, Pelicans and Kings: Refugees from Nazism at Penguin Books
DESCRIPTION:To mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of Penguin Books\, Dr. Anna Nyburg\, author of Émigrés: The Transformation of Art Publishing in Britain (Phaidon\, 2014)\, will pay tribute to the disproportionately large number of former refugees from Nazi Europe who contributed to the company’s extraordinary success. \nPenguin Books was founded by Allen Lane in 1935 and would radically change British reading habits\, educating\, informing  and entertaining the public for generations through their affordable and widely available books. \nRight from the beginning\, Penguin Books owed a debt to German publishing and book production\, inspired as the company was by the then ultra-modern Hamburg-based Albatross Books. Since William Morris’ Kelmscott Press\, German and British book producers and designers had influenced each other’s work\, with the result that when the National Socialists came to power\, those mainly Jewish book artists\, designers and authors fleeing to Britain could use their existing contacts in Britain to find work. \nAuthors such as Stefan Lorant and François Lafitte wrote Penguin Specials while Jan Tschichold and Hans Schmoller oversaw the important typography and page design that signalled the slim volumes’ modernity. Berthold Wolpe\, Romek Marber and Germano Facetti created the Penguin covers that helped to sell the books\, while Schmoller and Dieter Pevsner (son of Penguin author and editor Nikolaus Pevsner) became major figures in the running of the company. Last but no means least\, it was two Viennese refugees\, Wolfgang Foges and Walter Neurath (later to co-found Thames & Hudson)  who thought up and created the first King Penguins. \n  \nTo book\, click here \nImage: book covers

SUMMARY:Schools on the move: Bunce Court\, Gordonstoun and Camphill. A talk by Marjorie Downward
DESCRIPTION:As a result of exile from their homelands\, Jewish refugee educators founded many schools in the UK. The schools were mostly boarding schools based on the principle of  ‘Landerziehungsheime’ – ‘countryside educational homes.’  In their early days\, the primary aim of all these schools was to support young Jewish refugees as they faced the challenge of establishing a new identity  and coming to terms with an unfamiliar and alien environment. This talk by Marjorie Downward will focus on the outstanding educational work of Anna Essinger\, founder of Bunce Court School in Kent\, Kurt Hahn and Karl König\, founders of Gordonstoun and Camphill respectively\, both of them in Scotland. \nA retired musician and composer\, Marjorie Downward  is an independent researcher on a wide range of topics related to aspects of 19th\, 20th and 21st century social history\, including the lead-up to war and the after-effects of war on society as a whole. She has been involved in editing stories of WW2 refugees\, European Voluntary Workers and POWs who came to England and stayed.  Marjorie has also helped several authors with their researches\, including on the pioneers and WW2 years of Gordonstoun School and the Jewish X Troop. \nMarjorie is currently researching the life and work of Lola Hahn-Warburg in conjunction with the vital role played by the Quakers in the rescue of Jewish children and adults from Germany and Austria; also Lina Richter\, a remarkable German Jewish suffragette\, humanitarian\, author and teacher and Susanna Lachmann\, one of Germany’s finest female violinists. Thanks to Kurt Hahn\, both Richter and Lachmann found refuge in Britain in the 1930s and made a profound contribution to Gordonstoun School. \nBooking details here.
