The Wiener Library has put out a call for original documents that relate to the events of November 1938.
“The Wiener Library’s autumn 2018 exhibition will examine the 1938 November Pogrom (Kristallnacht) – to coincide with the 80th anniversary of these events.
We are seeking original personal document collections from Jewish refugees and survivors who may have witnessed Kristallnacht, including diaries, letters, photos, camp-related documents, emigration papers, and others related to the events of 9-10 November 1938.
The documents, which can either be loaned temporarily for display or donated to the Library to enrich our collections, may be shown in the autumn exhibition.
