Kino and Kinder: A family’s journey in the Shadow of the Holocaust by Vivien Sieber

For the last session of term, we welcome visiting speaker Vivien Sieber to present her recent book ‘Kino and Kinder: A Family’s Journey in the Shadow of the Holocaust’. The narrative of the book moves between Brno, Vienna, London, Newcastle, Windermere, the Isle of Man, and Canada as it follows the lives of one refugee family. The book provides many details about life in Vienna, Austria and Central Europe before World War Two and in post-war London, with over eighty unique original photographs.
