Tuesday 2nd April – Talk: Dr Helen Fry – Remembering the German Jewish Refugees’ War Effort
You may recall that not long ago, Dr Helen Fry came to talk to us about the involvement of around 900 Kitchener men in the Pioneer Corps.
If you would like to know more – or if you were unable to join us on that occasion – another opportunity to hear Helen is fast approaching.
The Second Generation Network, together with the Wiener Library, have invited historian Dr Helen Fry to speak about her research into the 10,000 German Jewish refugees who fought for Britain in the armed services or the secret service during World War II, and the establishment of a museum at Trent Park, home of the secret listeners.
There will be a discussion about the feasibility of fundraising for a memorial in recognition of their contributions to the war effort.
Attendees are encouraged to share their accounts (and memorabilia) or those of their relatives who were in the armed services, the secret service or otherwise helped the war effort.
