SUMMARY:The Laterndl: A Light in Dark Times
DESCRIPTION:Das Laterndl (The Little Lantern) was the first and largest of a number of German-language theatres run by exiles in London during the Second World War. It reunited friends and colleagues who had worked together in Vienna at one or other of the political cabaret theatres which had flourished during the period of Austro-fascism\, 1934-1938. \nThe three actors who proposed the opening of a theatre at the Austrian Centre in March 1939 – Fritz Schrecker\, Franz Hartl and Franz Schulz – had clear aims in mind for the theatre. They wanted to give the wider refugee community hope and belief in the future\, contribute to the fight for a free and independent Austria and reach out and share stories with their British hosts. Perhaps\, just as importantly\, was an unspoken hope that theatre would bring a sense of agency and purpose to their life in exile. \nThis talk by Kat Hubschmann\, project archivist\, Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Trust\, coincides with a new online exhibition entitled A Light in Dark Times on the same subject\, based on the holdings of The Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Archive at the University of London. \nBooking details here

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: Reconstructing the Uncharted Life of Jella Lepman in Wartime Britain\, 1937-1945
DESCRIPTION:A rare Jewish émigré to return to Germany immediately after WWII\, Jella Lepman (1891-1970) spearheaded an effort to re-educate the children of Germany\, and the world\, so they would become less susceptible to the pull of ultra-nationalism and xenophobia that led to the horrors of two world wars. \nWhile Allied occupations sought to de-Nazify Germany—efforts which were quickly dismantled after the Allied armies returned home\, Lepman thought the only true way forward was to “start with the children.”  She sought to change the hearts and minds of the next generation by exposing youth to books from other countries\, so they would become more empathetic and internationally-minded. Her work resulted in the establishment of what has since become the largest children’s book library in the world\, an international consortium that links 80 countries\, and indirectly\, the mammoth Children’s Book Fair in Bologna\, Italy.  Those institutions still exist today. \nLepman documented her work in an autobiography\, A Bridge of Children’s Books (1964) but glossed over the formative experiences in wartime Britain that shaped and inspired her later achievements. Lecturer David Jacobson has mined numerous archives in the U.K.\, Germany and the United States to sketch a vivid picture of her life and work in Britain\, undescribed until today.  An effort that literally required connecting the dots. \nDavid Jacobson is a veteran writer\, journalist and Japanese translator.  His first biography\, Are You an Echo?  The Lost Poetry of Misuzu Kaneko (a picture book for children)\, introduced the life and work of a beloved Japanese children’s poet to the English-speaking world. He is currently working on a biography of Jella Lepman. \nPhoto credit: Walter Poehlmann\, 1945. International Youth Library Hausarchiv\, 46.1127 \nBooking details here

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk – ‘The Handicaps of Exile’: Fred Kormis and Refugee Sculptors in Britain\, c. 1933–45
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Fred Kormis: Sculpting the Twentieth Century event series at The Wiener Holocaust Library\n \nWhen Fritz (later Fred) Kormis arrived in England (via Holland) in 1934 he was among more than 300 artists\, around one-sixth of them sculptors\, who found refuge from Nazism in Britain. \nThis talk situates Kormis within this wider context and among a cohort of refugee sculptors who included Benno Elkan\, Georg Ehrlich and Willi Soukop\, among many others. \nIt explores his interaction with émigré networks and their pre- and interwar exhibition platforms\, most notably\, the groundbreaking Exhibition of Twentieth Century German Art\, held at the New Burlington Galleries\, London in 1938\, intended as a riposte to the famous Nazi Entartete Kunst (‘Degenerate Art’) show\, mounted in Munich the previous year.  Simultaneously\, it also seeks to answer why in other ways\, Kormis stands apart from other refugee sculptors\, working largely beyond the émigré sphere and how this affected his pre- and postwar career trajectory. \nAbout the Speaker \nSarah MacDougall is Director of Scholarship at Ben Uri Gallery and Museum and heads the Ben Uri Research Unit for the Study of the Jewish Refugee and Immigrant Contribution to the Visual Arts in Britain since 1900\, and collections and exhibition programming. She has a particular interest in refugee sculptors and has lectured and published extensively on this subject. A committee member of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies (University of London)\, she co-edited Yearbook 18 on Émigrés and the Applied Arts. \nBooking details here \n  \nImage: Photograph showing Kormis’ Two Heads\, c. 1930s\, which was featured in the Twentieth Century German Art exhibition in 1938.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk – Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to British Public Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Fred Kormis: Sculpting the Twentieth Century event series at The Wiener Holocaust Library\n \nJoin us for an illustrated lecture by London-based art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen about the émigré sculptors who created so many of the works still visible in public spaces throughout the UK\, whose names and life stories nevertheless remain too little examined. \nAmong the 300 or so visual artists who found sanctuary from Nazi persecution in the UK during the 1930s were a significant number of sculptors\, whose practice included commissions for diverse public spaces. While many of these works have become a taken-for-granted feature of the (mostly) urban landscape\, too little attention has been paid to those who created them. \nThis lecture will consider both their pre-and post-war careers\, paying particular attention to the circumstances of their arrival\, the challenges involved in their integration into British cultural life\, and the support networks that enabled them to establish themselves and ultimately to thrive here. \nSculptors to be discussed include Siegfried Charoux\, Peter László Peri\, Georg Ehrlich\, Franta Belsky\, Ernst Müller-Blensdorf\, Bernard Schottlander\, Oscar Nemon and Fred Kormis. \nThis event\, like several of the others in this series\, is held in partnership with Insiders/Outsiders. \nAbout the Speaker \nMonica Bohm-Duchen is an independent London-based writer\, lecturer and curator. The institutions she has worked for include the Courtauld Institute of Art\, Sotheby’s Institute of Art\, Tate\, the National Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts. Her many publications include After Auschwitz: Responses to the Holocaust in Contemporary Art and Art and the Second World War. She is the Founding Director of Insiders/Outsiders\, an ongoing celebration of the contribution made by refugees from Nazism to British culture\, and editor of its companion volume\, Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to British Visual Culture. \n  \nBooking details here \n  \nImage: Following the Leader (Memorial to the Children Killed in the Blitz)\, Peter László Peri.
