Limited spaces are available to the general public to attend the launch of our newest exhibition, Shattered: Pogrom, November 1938.
The events of 9-10 November 1938, commonly called Kristallnacht, are the focus of The Wiener Library’s new temporary exhibition. Eighty years on, this exhibition explores exactly how the brutal events unfolded.
Through the eyewitness accounts gathered shortly after Kristallnacht, the exhibition examines responses to this unprecedented, nation-wide campaign of violence. Never-before-seen documents from the Library’s collection demonstrate German and Austrian Jews’ desperate attempts to flee, in many cases as refugees to Britain.
Newly curated by Dr Christine Schmidt and Dr Barbara Warnock, Shattered explores the experiences of Jewish women, men and children whose lives were changed forever after November 1938.
The launch reception will include an introduction by the curators, Helen Stone, who has loaned a never-before-exhibited Hanukiah that survived the November Pogrom, and Rabbi Jeremy Gordon (New London Synagogue).
