Session 1: Three-week course beginning with the story of Franz
Joseph’s glittering city, Vienna; 10% Jewish, it was Janus faced, at the
forefront of modernity but with a darkly sinister underbelly.
Session 2: In the second session we will examine the city from humiliating defeat
in WW1 to the Anschluss of 1938.
Session 3: The final session turns to the Jewish tragedy. Many lost their lives but others were more fortunate and able to leave. The story of Shanghai & the Kindertransport are part of the this story too.
