Abstract: The Wiener Holocaust Library is one of the world’s most important independent archives. Situated on Russell Square, London, since 2011, its extensive collections include survivor testimonies, photographs, personal and official documents, pamphlets and rare books. This presentation will explore the motivations, successes and setbacks of the extraordinary people who sustained what Dr Alfred Wiener, the Library’s founder, described as an ‘annually recurring miracle’. The Wiener collections have proven to be vital at key moments during and especially after the Holocaust, including the Nuremberg, Eichmann and David Irving trials.
