Leading historian Professor Anthony Julius will speak out against increasing antisemitism and in support of the Wiener Library at a private viewing at the Wallace Collection on 19 February.
The Wiener Library will host the private viewing of ‘Treasures of the Black Death’, a display of jewellery and artefacts discovered buried under synagogues in Germany following the persecution of Jewish communities blamed for the spread of plague in the 14th century.
The event at the Wallace Collection in Manchester Square will also reunite the Wiener Library with its original home of 19 Manchester Square from when it first arrived in London in the summer of 1939.
