TRUDY GOLD This course will explore the major currents, ideas and personalities that have characterised the Jewish people since 1900.

2-3.30pm £20 per session, £144 for the 9-part course
TRUDY GOLD This course will examine the social, political and cultural history of the Jews over the last 200 years. In an era of unprecedented opportunities, challenges and dangers they have gained rights but been the victims of the most savage onslaught in human history. They have established their own state, yet continue to be a focus of one of the world’s most intractable problems. Beginning with the French and American revolutions we will study the story of the Jews in an attempt to understand the bewildering world of today.

WAR IN THE EAST & THE COLLAPSE OF AN EMPIRE 10.30am-12.30pm £20 per session, £144 for the 9-part course
WILLIAM TYLER MBE As the 20th century opened, the AustroHungarian Empire was ruled by the ageing Franz Joseph, who was still Emperor at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 – a war partly caused by Austria’s own actions. The war concluded with the destruction and dismemberment of his empire. This is one of the great stories of modern history, yet is little known in this country.
3
WILLIAM TYLER MBE From Lord Salisbury to David Cameron, our story will look at modern British political history, which saw a Canadian Prime Minister, the first Labour Prime Minister, the first woman Prime Minister and the last Liberal Prime Minister. Nationalist and Coalition Governments existed in times of peace and in times of war. Few would challenge the view that Winston Churchill was our greatest wartime leader, but who was the greatest Prime Minister? Asquith, Attlee, Thatcher, or another?

70 Years On: Reflections on The Holocaust, Liberation & Aftermath 1945 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. It changed the Jewish world irrevocably and had a huge impact on European civilisation. A third of all Jews were murdered and a culture all but destroyed. These events and accompanying courses will examine the cultural creativity of a dying people and explore the magnificent few who were rescuers.

THE JEWISH WORLD 1945-1948 10.30am-12.30pm £20 per session, £144 for the 9-part course
TRUDY GOLD 1945-1948 are probably the most traumatic and decisive years in Jewish history since the exile. We will explore the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust and the emergence of the State of Israel.

This course will be accompanied by the use of documents, newspaper articles and footage of the extraordinary events portrayed.

2-3.30pm £20 per session, £80 for the 5-part course
DR HELEN FRY
TRUDY GOLD & PATRICK BADE
For the 70th anniversary of Nuremberg, Helen Fry looks back at the significance of the trials and examines a little known aspect of that period – the life within the prison during the trials as Hitler’s henchmen awaited their fate. Whilst justice was exacted for many of the top Nazi leaders, some enduring mysteries remain, especially regarding Rudolf Hess.
Part of Nazi philosophy was to destroy any aspect of culture that was created by Jews, or contrary to their insane ideology. This fiveweek course will focus on wartime France and the fate of the artistic community. We will examine in particular Marseille, which was a centre for émigré cultural figures desperate to escape, focusing on the extraordinary Varian Fry who managed to rescue over 2,000 of the most important cultural figures in Europe. Our case study will be the colourful Alma Mahler and her third husband, Franz Werfel.
Wednesdays 25 November | 2, 9, 16 December
THE DIPLOMATS & SPIES WHO SAVED JEWS FROM THE NAZIS 2-3.30pm £20 per session, £64 for the 4-part course
DR HELEN FRY Helen Fry turns her attention to the diplomats and spies who, at great personal risk, saved hundreds, sometimes thousands, of Jews from the Nazis in the 1930s and during the early part of World War II. Little attention has been given to these unsung heroes. The course examines their rescue efforts and the sacrifices which they made, often going far beyond the call of duty.

RICHARD GOLDSTEIN What is the true story of the Jews in Poland? Is it the land of antisemitism or one ordained by God for the Jews to settle in comfort? Why did so many Jews willingly settle in Polish lands? Was there really a golden age for Jews in Poland? The history of the Jews in Poland is fascinating, uplifting and tragic. Let experienced educator and guide Richard Goldstein take you on a journey which explores why the Jews came to Poland and how they shaped its story. Discover the remarkable birth of Hasidim and the warm intimate world of the shtetl.

HAGAI SEGAL To the surprise of many, and against the suggestions of the opinion polls, both Israel and the UK re-elected right-wing governments. But what will these two new governments mean respectively for Israeli and British politics, domestic and foreign policy in each country, and the relations between the UK and Israel? And what have both elections taught us about the interests and priorities of the populations of both states, and the strength or weakness of their political systems? Hagai will explain all.

MYSTIC AND MEANINGFUL
MORE MODERN JEWISH LITERATURE
10am-12noon £20 per session, £144 for the 9-part course
ANGELA GLUCK Mysticism may be all the rage but classical Judaism is often thought of as rational and practical, not in the least touchy-feely. Yet, in exploring the ‘meaning of life’, Jewish mysticism has deep, ancient roots that sprouted new branches over the ages. There’ll be no Mystic Meg – and not much Monty Python or Madonna – just lots of intriguing Jewish ideas from a long period, all on the theme that there’s more to life than meets the eye.

ANGELA GLUCK All cultures dream of ‘the good life’. Most societies hark back to a Golden Age, but Jewish tradition has mainly focused on looking forwards towards a time of peace, justice and contentment.
