SUMMARY:Understanding WW2 Internment Through Postal History
DESCRIPTION:‘Who\, When\, Where\, and Why?’ \n\nAn illustrated Presentation by Alan Morgenroth \nCollecting military postal history has always been a popular genre of philately and within this there are niches for post sent to and from Prisoner of War and Internment Camps. The contribution made to the understanding of Second World War refugees\, migration and the movement of enemy internees and prisoners of war by collectors of postal history should not be underestimated. \nSince collectors are driven by their often-insatiable desire to make their collections more inclusive and complete\, they strive to fully understand their subject. Consequently\, postal historians have often researched and published on the subject before anybody else\, even if they are sometimes preoccupied with the different postal stationery\, stamps\, postmarks\, cachets or censor labels. \nThis illustrated talk gives an introduction to the interpretation of WW2 internment postal history to help explain and understand the stories of the people behind the letters to help answer the questions of: ‘Who\, When\, Where\, and Why?’ \nProspective audience might like to send images of any correspondence (FRONT & BACK of envelopes) prior to the event for possible selection\, to illustrate the talk. Please send images here. Please add any background information. \n\nRegister in advance for this event \n\nAlan Morgenroth is an independent researcher into the experiences of the German and Austrian refugees interned by the British during 1940. Initially inspired by research into his father’s experiences as an internee\, and ‘Dunera Boy’ he has spent many years delving deep into all aspects of the internment saga. Alan\, a Chartered Accountant and entrepreneur\, has a special interest in the postal and banking systems of the camps and has investigated the banknotes and scrip created by the internees in the camps. His current research involves the postal history of internment on which he has plans to publish in conjunction with his wife\, the eminent internment scholar Dr Rachel Pistol. \nFor those who are interested in becoming members of the Isle of Man Internment Email group\, please email Tony Hausner. The group has 58 members and covers not only the Isle of Man but internment throughout the former British Commonwealth. Members come from all over the world\, but the majority are from England.

SUMMARY:A New Life for Inherited Objects: The Art of Evy Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Evy Cohen\, Livre du Souvenir\, 2018\nOnline Event \n\nThe eminent Greek-Jewish Haimaki Cohen family has been much in the news lately\, following the death of Prince Philip\, Duke of Edinburgh. As many people will now be aware\, his mother Princess Alice\, at considerable risk to herself\, chose to give refuge to several members of that family in her Athens residence during World War Two\, and in 1994 was designated ‘Righteous among the Nations’ by Yad Vashem\, at a ceremony attended by her son\, the first member of the British Royal Family to pay a visit to the State of Israel. \nArtist Evy Cohen\, now based in France\, will tell the remarkable story of her family’s survival in Nazi-occupied Greece but also for the first time talk about the artworks\, comprised of photography and glass (many of them works-in-progress)\, she has recently created in response to her family history\, as well as to broader issues of memory\, uprooting and loss. \nThis event is held in partnership with the AJR. \nTo book\, click here.

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

SUMMARY:Becoming Gustav Metzger\, Uncovering the Early Years 1945-59
DESCRIPTION:Gustav Metzger\, Head of E. Royalton-Kisch\, 1950 Courtesy of The Gustav Metzger Foundation\n108A Boundary Rd\, Camden\, London NW8 0RH\nThe Ben Uri Research Unit (BURU)\, in partnership with The Gustav Metzger Foundation\, is delighted to announce Becoming Gustav Metzger: Uncovering the Early Years (1945-59). This is the first museum exhibition to examine the little-known formative years of refugee artist and activist Gustav Metzger (Nuremberg\, Germany 1926 – London\, England 2017). The sixth in BURU’s survey exhibitions highlighting the important contribution of Jewish and immigrant artists to British visual culture since 1900\, the exhibition showcases some 40 rarely seen drawings and paintings from this crucial early period – the majority never previously exhibited – together with related archival material. Highlights include Metzger’s Portrait of Frank Auerbach (c.1952) and the large expressionist oils The Dissolution of the City (1946) and Eroica\, Funeral March (1946)\, as well as early abstract works on board and cardboard\, and a Kodak box. Together they chart Metzger’s artistic journey from figuration to abstraction prior to the development of his later radical auto-destructive practice. \nBen Uri. Monday-Friday 10am-5pm (Thursdays late\, till 8pm)  \n\n\nBook your entry slots now to view the exhibition in the Gallery.

SUMMARY:Arthur\, Ernestine and Marianne Segal: Painting\, Education and Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Segal\, The Artist’s Hand\, 1941\, Guildhall Art Gallery\nOnline Event \n\nIn 1936 refugee artist and educator Arthur Segal (1875-1944) founded his ‘Painting School for Professionals and Non-Professionals’ in Bloomsbury with his wife Ernestine and daughter Marianne\, having fled Berlin in 1933. The Segals taught using a set of ‘objective principles of painting’ that Arthur had formulated during the 1920s which\, in a rejection of pre-WW1 Expressionism\, focused on representing subjects from life naturalistically by focusing on light\, form and colour. Rooted in convictions about the inherent value of art making and the ‘learnability’ of painting\, the school taught amateur as well as professional artists\, and\, with much support from Ernestine and Marianne\, Arthur also developed an early form of art therapy in Britain. \nForming partnerships with psychoanalysts and psychiatrists\, he disseminated his ideas about art’s therapeutic uses in these circles and gave painting lessons to adults and children for psychological purposes. During the war\, the school also ran a programme for Members of the Forces under the Army Education Scheme. In this talk\, Imogen Wiltshire will discuss Segal’s approach to art making\, the mechanisms and networks through which the family established themselves socially and professionally\, and the contributions they made to art education and therapeutic care in Britain. \nDr Imogen Wiltshire is an art historian specialising in modern and contemporary art\, based at the University of Leicester. In May 2021 she co-organised a symposium on second-generation visual artists\, the recordings of which are available here. \n  \nTo book. click here.

SUMMARY:Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:IWM London\, Lambeth Road\, London \nOver 50 contemporary portraits of Holocaust survivors and their families shine a light on the full lives they have lived and our collective responsibility to cherish their stories. \n“Packs a colossal emotional punch” – The Daily Telegraph \nIn partnership with the Royal Photographic Society (RPS)\, Jewish News\, the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust and Dangoor Education\, Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors will showcase new works from 13 contemporary photographers\, all members and Fellows of RPS\, alongside photography by RPS patron\, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge. \nDisplayed for the very first time\, these powerful photographs capture the special connections between Holocaust survivors and the younger generations of their families. \nThe systematic persecution of Europe’s Jews by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945 led to the mass extermination of 6 million lives. For those who survived\, its memory and impact were life changing. \nThrough a series of individual and family portraits\, the moving photographs in this exhibition present a group of survivors who made the UK their home after beginnings marked by unimaginable loss and trauma. While offering a space to remember and share their stories\, these portraits are a celebration of the rich lives they have lived and the special legacy which their children and grandchildren will carry into the future. \nPhotographers include Frederic Aranda\, Sian Bonnell\, Jillian Edelstein\, Arthur Edwards\, Anna Fox\, Joy Gregory\, Jane Hilton\, Tom Hunter\, Karen Knorr\, Carolyn Mendelsohn\, Simon Roberts\, Michelle Sank and Hannah Starkey.

SUMMARY:Passion (1940-45): Representing the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:The Rodd\, Presteigne\, Herefordshire \nThis lecture by art historian and Insiders/Outsiders founder Monica Bohm-Duchen will set the powerful Colour of the Sky – Auschwitz Paintings by Sidney Nolan on view at The Rodd from 13 August in a broader context by considering those artists – most but not all of them Jewish –  who from the late nineteenth century onwards\, but above all in the shadow of World War Two and the Holocaust\, chose to represent Jesus as the Jew he historically was\, and as an emblem of Jewish suffering in the present. \nThe lecture will be given live in the gallery (free with admission to the exhibition)\, but a recording will be made available after the event. Details to follow.

SUMMARY:Sara Davidmann: My Name is Sara
DESCRIPTION:My name is Sara draws upon themes of family\, post-memory and the Holocaust. \nSara Davidmann discovered a family album of photographs and handwritten notes in German (never before translated)\, that tell a story her father was never able to tell – of the German Jewish side of her family. \nDavidmann’s father\, Manfred\, and his sister Susi survived the Holocaust by escaping from Berlin on the Kindertransport\, arriving in Britain in 1939. \nThe photo-album belonged to Davidmann’s aunt Susi. Early photographs show a family life of seaside holidays\, weddings and Berlin outings – a family Davidmann had not known existed. \nRealising that many of these people did not reappear in photographs taken after World War II she searched for traces of their lives. She uncovered over 130 pages of Nazi and official documents. These revealed that family members were deported to\, and murdered\, in concentration camps at Auschwitz and Theresienstadt. Others survived by escaping to Shanghai and France\, and by living hidden in Berlin with false documents. \nAt the same time – parallel to making these discoveries\, Davidmann used photography and video to make artworks using the material she was uncovering. Recognisable objects – hair\, family photographs and Nazi documents appear in the artworks – only to be disrupted by elements of fire and erasure. This is the first exhibition of this work.” \nAn artist’s book\, Mischling 1\, published by GOST\, accompanies the exhibition. Signed copies of Mischling 1 will be on sale during the exhibition. \nImage: Kinderfest I\, 2018. Chemigram made using a digital negative.
