During the course of the years he had close contacts and working relationships with many who subsequently enriched this country in many areas of human endeavour. Dr Kohn will describe the persecution of scientists in Nazi Germany during the 1930s and illustrate the ‘unique and dedicated work of extraordinary British subjects’ to help persecuted academics find a safe haven for their work and life in the UK.

Tuesday 3rd November 2009, 6.00pm, followed by a reception.

Lecture Theatre G16, Sir Alexander Fleming Building, Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, SW7 2AZ.

Overhaul of Refugee Archive Online Resources

This is a quick posting to let everyone know that there will now be a limited output on the Refugee Archive at UEL blogs over the next few months. this is to enable us to undertake a review of our online presence and to make some necessary changes and upgrades, and hopefully some improvements too, to our online presence.

Many apologies in advance for the reduced service but we hope to have a new and revised online presence available in time for the start of the new academic year in August/September 2009.

Many thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Yours Sincerely,

Paul Dudman
Archivist.
