Concentration Camps and Kindertransport: Two stories of Jewish Refugees in Britain – film screening and Q&A

Join us for this screening of the short film, Heilig, which interviews the Austrian Jewish Kindertransportee Gerhard Heilig and tells the story of his father, Bruno, who survived two concentration camps before finding refuge in England.

An introduction by Dr Ellen Pilsworth (Lecturer in German, University of Reading) and Q&A with film-maker Steven Hatton will explore how Bruno and Gerhard’s stories represent different aspects of Britain’s response to the Nazis’ persecution of Austrian Jews.

The event will be held at Reading Biscuit Factory and is open to Publishing Anti-fascism conference delegates, members of the University and the general public. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance via Eventbrite.
