Seminar: War, Refugees and Testimony
A Seminar and Evening Reception at The Wiener Library

18 June 2009, 2.30pm - 6pm and 7pm - 8.30pm

The Wiener Library is pleased to announce a special seminar as part of Refugee Week 2009, to mark the 70th anniversary of the Library's move to London.  The seminar will examine the arrival of refugees as a result of war, their contribution to Britain and the historical importance of the stories and testimony they leave behind.

The seminar will be followed by the official launch of Refugee Voices, the audio-visual testimony project completed by the Association of Jewish Refugees featuring interviews with 150 Holocaust survivors and refugees.

A full programme for the event is available here.

We are very pleased to be able to invite all our readers and supporters to this special event.  An invitation is available here, and places can be booked by contacting info@wienerlibrary.co.uk or 020 7636 7247.  Please note that spaces are limited, and we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
