Wiener Library visit June 3 - All

Because the last visit was booked out, and because it was so successful, we are arranging another opportunity to visit the Wiener library. We will meet at the Montagu centre at 10.30am for coffee and then walk over to the Wiener Library. We will have an introductory talk followed by a walk through the collections. These provide a fascinating glimpse of the huge range of materials collected with reference to the Holocaust.   If you would like to come please contact Lina Fajerman on 020 8504 3125 or email on lina.fajerman@ntlworld.com.ss
