SUMMARY:Alice Schwab: One Woman’s Emigration from Heilbronn to England
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \n\nBaroness Rabbi Julia Neuberger DBE will be in conversation with Joachim Schloer\, author of a new book about her redoubtable mother Alice (Liesel) Schwab. They will be joined by art historian Julia Weiner\, who as curator of the Ben Uri Gallery\, London Jewish Museum of Art in the 1990s\, came to know Liesel well. \nCarefully piecing together the personal letters of Alice ‘Liesel’ Schwab\, Escaping Nazi Germany tells the important story of one woman’s emigration from Heilbronn to England. From the decision to leave her family and emigrate alone\, to gaining her independence as a shop worker and surviving the Blitz\, to the reunion with her brother and parents in England and shared grief as they learn about the fate of family members who died in the Holocaust\, her story provides powerful insight into both the everyday realities of German-Jewish refugees in Britain and the ability of letters and life-writing to create transnational networks during times of trauma and separation. \nThroughout her life Liesel collected art\, befriended and supported artists\, and was closely involved with both the AJR and the Ben Uri. As her obituary in the July 2001 issue of AJR Information put it\, “A lifetime’s devotion to collecting and appreciating art led her to accepting the important position of AJR Information’s art correspondent\, from where she informed and guided her regular readers for a quarter century.” \nTo book\, click here. \n  \nThis event is held in partnership with the Association of Jewish Refugees.

SUMMARY:Bertha Bracey and the Quaker Rescuers
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \n\nFrom the rise of Hitler in 1933 to post-Holocaust Europe\, the Quakers played a huge role in saving Jewish lives. Leading the way was Bertha Bracey\, the head of the British Quakers. She was instrumental in setting up a school for Jewish refugee children in Surrey but her most important work was in the two years leading up to war. She and her Quaker team were among those who initiated the Kindertransport programme – the rescue of 10\,000 mainly Jewish children from Nazi Europe. \nDuring the war her Quakers provided homes\, hostels\, schools and parental support for the children who had come to Britain without their parents. After the war\, Bracey led a team to bring to safety children who had survived the Nazi death camps. Hers was a life of immense care devoted to the welfare of refugees. \nHolocaust educator\, researcher and writer Mike Levy tells her forgotten story and pays tribute to the role of the Quakers in saving so many lives. He will be joined by Cambridge-based Quaker David Dobson\, who will talk about this important topic and its wider context from a Quaker perspective. \nTo book\, click here. \nThis event is held in partnership with the Association of Jewish Refugees.

SUMMARY:The Black Book: The Britons on the Nazi Hitlist
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \n\nHistorian Sybil Oldfield will be in conversation with writer and journalist Caroline Moorehead about The Black Book\, her spinechilling but fascinating new publication. \nIn 1939\, the Gestapo created a list of names: the Britons whose removal would be the Nazis’ first priority in the event of a successful invasion. Who were they? What had they done to provoke Germany? For the first time\, this book uncovers their stories and reveals why the Nazis feared their influence. \nThose on the hitlist – more than half of them naturalised refugees – were many of Britain’s most gifted and humane inhabitants. Among their numbers we find the writers E.M.Forster and Virginia Woolf\, humanitarians and religious leaders\, scientists and artists\, the social reformers Margery Fry and Eleanor Rathbone MP\, the artists Jacob Epstein and Oscar Kokoschka. \nBy examining these targets of Nazi hatred\, Oldfield not only sheds light on the Gestapo worldview; she also movingly reveals a network of truly exemplary Britons: mavericks\, moral visionaries and unsung heroes. \n  \nTo book\, click here. \nThis event is held in partnership with the Association of Jewish Refugees. \n

SUMMARY:Torn Threads: Aspects of the Life and Work of Textile Designer Otti Berger
DESCRIPTION:Image: Portrait of Otti Berger / Photo: Lucia Moholy\, Dessau 1927–1928\nOnline Event \n\nJudith Raum\, a Berlin-based visual artist\, has been researching the legacy of textile designer Otti Berger (1898-1944) for several years. As a Yugoslav Jew\, Berger\, who had trained at the Bauhaus\, was forced to leave the German Reich\, where she had run her own textile studio in Berlin\, and unsuccessfully tried to make a new life in Great Britain. She returned to her home village of Zmajevac\, where although cut off from her professional networks\, she continued to work before being deported by the Nazis and murdered in Auschwitz in 1944.  \nConsequently\, her estate lies scattered in archives over the world. She was an outstanding designer\, both of experimental handweaves and of industrially produced fabrics. In Raum’s own words\, “There is an extraordinary strength in Berger’s designs for functional textiles such as upholstery or wall spanning materials: it lies in the combination of sensual riches and conceptual clarity. In addition\, Berger’s practice is characterized by resolutely balancing experimentation on a hand-loom with the necessities of industrial production processes.” \nIn her lecture- cum-performance\, originally drafted for the Harvard Art Museums\, Judith Raum contemplates the significance of a special kind of fabric in Berger’s oeuvre – net-like textiles – which allows her to draw a richly rhizomatic net of connections – among them\, to the work of Berger’s colleagues and industrial design history of the 1930s\, as well as to questions of authorship and recognition. \nJudith Raum will be joined by eminent UK-based design historian Tanya Harrod\, who will chair the event and say more about Otti Berger’s time in England.  \n  \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Music and the Émigré Photographers: Companions in Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Jacqueline du Pré by Laelia Goehr (detail)\nOnline Event \n\nIt is a striking fact that a significant number of the photographers who found refuge in Britain in the 1930s started their professional lives as musicians and/or made a speciality of taking pictures of musicians and composers\, many of whom were personal friends. This event will not only reveal a rich array of musical images\, many of them less well-known than they ought to be\, but also evoke the deeply cultured milieu in which so many refugees from Nazism lived\, both in their countries of origin and in the UK. \nPhotographic historian Amanda Hopkinson will talk about her mother\, photographer Gerti Deutsch as well as fellow Austrian-born photographer and friend of Gerti\, Lotte Meitner-Graf. Cellist and photographer Julia Crockatt\, daughter of composer Alexander Goehr\, and granddaughter of conductor and composer Walter Goehr\, will talk about her photographer grandmother Laelia Goehr\, and picture editor and researcher\, (formerly at Getty Images)\, Leon Meyer will consider the work of Czech-born photographer Erich Auerbach. \nThe event will be chaired by singer and teacher at the Royal College of Music\, Nobert Meyn\, founder of Ensemble Émigré and the Music\, Migration and Mobility project. \n  \nThis event is held in partnership with Music\, Migration and Mobility \n  \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Leonhard Adam: ‘Dunera Boy’\, Lawyer\, Anthropologist and Artist
DESCRIPTION:Leonhard Adam\, Tatura Camp\, Australia\, 1942\nOnline Talk \n\nBorn in Berlin in 1891\, Leonhard Adam was rising to prominence as a judge and an expert on international tribal law and culture when the Nazis’ enforcement of a law in 1933 aryanizing all the professions stripped him of his position. Receiving a warning that his name had appeared on a list of academics to be “liquidated”\, he left Berlin for London. This was in 1938. \nAdam had been visiting Britain and lecturing at colleges\, universities and at the Royal Anthropological Institute since 1934\, which meant that he had established an invaluable network of connections. This enabled him to find a job in the UK and to continue to give lectures. During this time he was also working on his best-selling Penguin book\, Primitive Art\, published in 1942. \nHe was\, in fact\, in the process of re-establishing himself in Britain when he was arrested\, interned and sent into exile on the “Dunera” in 1940 – the ship which sailed from Liverpool to Australia\, overloaded with 2\,500 refugee internees\, Nazi prisoners and crew in catastrophic conditions. \nArriving in Australia\, Adam was interned at Tatura\, in northern Victoria. There he and other academic internees founded a university called “Collegium Taturensis”. He was released after a year and a half to teach at The University of Melbourne\, as well as to document the Sir Baldwin Spencer Collection of Aboriginal Objects at the National Museum of Victoria. Fluent in several languages including Punjabi and Mandarin Chinese\, he would also become the first teacher of Mandarin at The University of Melbourne. \nMuch of his life experiences have also been documented in his paintings\, including pictures of Tatura internment camp\, the dramatic scenery of Central Australia and\, much earlier\, delightful sketches and paintings of London. \nIn her talk\, Mary-Clare Adam\, Leonard’s daughter\, will highlight the dramatic events in his life on two continents before and after the two World Wars. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Hope after catastrophe: The Art of Dante Elsner
DESCRIPTION:Online Event \n\nArtist potter and painter\, Dante Elsner (1920-1997)\, escaped the rounding up of Jews in Poland during the war years\, and survived by hiding in the forest after his family were murdered in two different death camps. After the war\, on the point of suicide in Paris\, he came across Rembrandt’s portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels in the Louvre. He later said that this painting saved his life: he saw the love with which Rembrandt had painted this woman\, and it convinced him that there was a reason to fight to live. \nHe devoted the rest of his life to painting and to studio pottery\, in Paris (1948-58) and in London (1958-1997). Inspired by the teachings of George Gurdjieff\, aspects of Sufism\, Jewish mysticism and Zen Buddhism\, Dante developed an art practice involving a series of daily meditations and spiritual exercises\, and a life philosophy that offered an alternative to despair. Always mistrustful of authorities and institutions – as he learned in the forest that to trust anyone was to end up dead – he did not exhibit his work. It has remained\, despite recent efforts by the Elsner family\, largely unknown\, kept in two sheds near their family home in Oxford. \nThe talk will be given by Dante’s granddaughter\, Maia Elsner\, whose debut poetry collection\, overrun by wild boars (forthcoming with flipped eye in July 2021) explores the nature of intergenerational memory in the context of trauma\, and gestures towards healing through the possibilities of hope. \nTo book\, click here.

SUMMARY:Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture
DESCRIPTION:William Hogarth\, Noon\, (detail)\, 1738\nOnline Event \n\nHistorian and curator Tessa Murdoch will examine the extraordinary international networks resulting from the diaspora of more than 200\,000 refugees who left France in the late 17th century to join communities already in exile spread far and wide. First-generation Huguenot refugees included hundreds of trained artists\, designers\, and craftsmen. Beyond the French borders\, they raised the quality of design and workshop practice\, passing on skills to their apprentices; sons\, godsons\, cousins\, and to successive generations\, who continued to dominate output in the luxury trades. \nAlthough silver and silks are the best-known fields with which Huguenot settlers are associated\, their significant contribution to architecture\, ceramics\, design\, clock and watchmaking\, engraving\, furniture\, woodwork\, sculpture\, portraiture\, and art education provides fascinating insight into the motivation and resolve of this highly skilled diaspora. Thanks to a sophisticated network of Huguenot merchants\, retailers\, and bankers who financed their production\, their wares reached a global market. \nDr.Tessa Murdoch FSA is Research Curator\, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection\, Victoria and Albert Museum. Tessa has forty years curatorial experience at the Museum of London from 1981 and at the V&A since 1990. Tessa is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, a trustee of the Huguenot Museum\, Rochester and of the Idlewild Trust. Her forthcoming book Huguenot Refugee Art and Culture 1530-1780 will be published by the V&A in November. \nThe event will be chaired by Robert Winder\, author of Bloody Foreigners: The Story of Immigration to Britain  and trustee of the Migration Museum\, London. \nTo book\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:A Jewish Jesus: Art and Faith in the Shadow of World War II
DESCRIPTION:Hans Feibusch\, Crucifixion\, 1951 (detail)\, St.John’s Church\, Waterloo\nConference (face-to-face\, with online option) \n\nA groundbreaking one-day conference called ‘A Jewish Jesus: Art and Faith in the Shadow of World War II’. \nThis is being organised by St. John’s Waterloo\, home to two major paintings by émigré artist Hans Feibusch\, in association with Insiders/Outsiders and Art+Christianity. \nHow did a German-Jewish refugee artist come to be responsible for more murals in Church of England churches than any other artist in its entire history? Who were the other Jewish artists employed by the Church or using Christian iconography in the post-war period? And what has become of their work today? Do these artists deserve greater recognition and what can be done to save their works\, many of which are under threat? \nUsing Feibusch as a starting point\, the conference will address the broader theme of Jewish artists who produced work for the Church and/or employed Christian iconography during the 1930s-1950s\, a period dominated by the rise of Fascism\, World War Two and the Holocaust\, in which the figure of Jesus was often seen (by Jews and non-Jews alike) as the embodiment of contemporary Jewish suffering. \nTo book\, click here.\n \n\nConference participants may like to purchase Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to British Visual Culture\, edited by Monica Bohm-Duchen\, at a discount of 20% until 31st July. \nLund Humphries\nCode: INOUT20 \n

DESCRIPTION:Walking Tour \n\nIn this walking tour we’ll discover the revolutionary Modernist homes and idealistic architecture built in Hampstead in the 1930s onwards. \nIn this walking tour discover the revolutionary Modernist homes and idealistic architecture built in Hampstead in the 1930s such as The Sun House by Maxwell Fry\, and 66 Frognal by Connell Ward and Lucas. Much of the architecture echoed design trends in Europe and the walk includes passing housing by the émigré architects Ernst Freud and Erno Goldfinger. Elements of eighteenth-century architectural design were also an influence for some architects. \nPassing some more recent examples and of course striking non modernist Hampstead buildings\, this walk will finish at the iconic and idealistic Isokon flats in Belsize Park which were famous in the 1930s for enabling Bauhaus designers to live here to escape the Nazi regime. \nPlease note that the Isokon Gallery should be open but allows only 6 in at a time . There is also a special display about Agatha Christie another Isokon resident. \nThe walk is timed to be in Refugee Week. \nIn line with current social distancing requirements we have adopted certain mitigation practices regarding our walking tours.
