    Nicholas Winton - the power of good (2005)
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 64 Minuten
    Year of publication: 2005
    Keywords: Winton, Nicholas ; Großbritannien ; Kindertransport ; Rettung ; Tschechoslowakei
    Abstract: A gripping documentary about the courage and determination of a young English stockbroker who saved the lives of 669 children. Between March 13 and August 2, 1939, Nicholas Winton organized eight transports (one airplane and seven trains) to take children from Prague to new homes in Great Britain, and kept quiet about it until his wife discovered a scrapbook documenting his unique mission in 1988. Winton was a successful 29-year-old stockbroker in London who "had an intuition" about the fate of the Jews when he visited Prague in 1939. He quietly but decisively got down to the business of saving lives. We learn how only two countries, Sweden and Britain, answered his call to harbour the young refugees; how documents had to be forged ("We didn't bring anybody in illegally, we just, er, speeded up the process a little") and how once foster parents signed for the children on delivery that was the last he saw of them. "You had to treat it like a business," says Winton. Journalist and presenter Joe Schlesinger, a rescued child himself, describes Winton as a man of "ordinary human decency". He has also become a national hero in Prague and in Britain and his good work ripples through the lives of many.

    Series Statement: Exil-Studien : eine interdisziplinäre Buchreihe 8
    Series Statement: Exil-Studien
    Keywords: Großbritannien ; Exil ; Sprache ; Literatur
    Abstract: The author offers an interdisciplinary examination of the German-speaking exile experience in Great Britain from the beginnings of the Nazi regime to the end of the Second World War. The book examines the contingencies of cultural production for German and Austrian exiles against the historical context of British immigration and internment policies. By investigating the influence and manipulation of trends in popular British culture in the English-language exile fiction by Ernest Borneman, Robert Neumann, Ruth Feiner, Lilo Linke and George Tabori, the author illustrates how a suspect minority voiced their socio-political concerns in the dominant culture, and presents a strong case for the facilities of polylingualism in literature. The book reconstructs biographical and cultural histories of authors whose remarkable success as English-language writers may otherwise risk lingering in obscurity. Since the author traces the interaction of historical events and the personal experience of a range of writers, themes of gender-based, national and religious identities are addressed. Flexible and accessible, the book extracts meaning from the politics of popular culture and cultural exchange in the twentieth century during a period of nationalism, acute jingoism and war. Contents: Britain as a country of exile - British popular culture of the 1930s & 1940s - English-language crime fiction - Exile novels by Ernst Borneman, Robert Neumann, Ruth Feiner, Lilo Linke and George Tabori

    Abstract: David Halevi, ein zehnjähriger Holocaust-Überlebender, wird durch den Hagganah-Untergrund als illegaler Einwanderer nach Palästina gebracht. Gleich nach seiner Ankunft fragt er nach seinem Vater, der ihm bei ihrer Trennung in Krakau versprochen hat, dass sie sich in Palästina wiederfinden würden. David wird in einen Kibbuz gebracht, wo er drei Freunde findet: Miriam, die ebenfalls überlebt hat, Shulamith, ein kleines Mädchen aus dem Kibbuz, die seine Schwester sein will, und ein arabischer Junge aus der Nachbarschaft. Als deutlich wird, dass David sich nicht eingewöhnen kann, wird er in ein Internat bei Haifa gebracht, wo die Kinder in Therapiestunden über ihre Erlebnisse während des Krieges erzählen. Weil er noch immer glaubt, seinen Vater wiederfinden zu können, läuft David davon und setzt seine verzweifelte Suche fort. In einem Pottaschebetrieb am Toten Meer entdeckt er schließlich eine Familie, mit der er vermutlich verwandt ist.

    Fighting Back? : Jewish and Black boxers in Britain ; [in association with the exhibition "Ghetto warriors: minority boxers in Britain" at the Jewish Museum, London, 9 May to 2 September 2007] (2007)

    Abstract: This new exhibition really packs a punch! Boxing has always been a very English sport yet it has often been popular with ethnic minority groups at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. Boxers of Jewish, African-Caribbean, West African, Romany, Traveller, Irish and Asian origins have all, at one time or another entered the British ring. Boxing has not only been a way out of the ghetto but also a means of gaining acceptance, respect and even, in some cases, riches and fame. The exhibition will highlight how boxing has served as a means of social integration by enabling boxers to be proud of their ethnic identity while also feeling part of British society. The story starts with Daniel Mendoza, the 18th century popular hero and English Jewish boxing champion who changed the public image of Jews in England and is credited as having developed scientific boxing. Also featured are Mendoza̷s contemporaries, Tom Molineaux and Bill Richmond, black boxers who escaped slavery and achieved fame in the ring. The exhibition tells their stories and describes the ways in which wealth and fame proved to be a mixed blessing, as many boxers ended their days poverty ridden or in jail. During the 20th century, young East Enders like Jack Kid Berg and Ted Kid Lewis took the boxing route to success and are still considered some of the best boxers Britain has ever produced. The exhibition considers the story up to the present day, taking into account how boxers continue to be inspirational figures for modern youth. Highlights of the exhibition range from the Museum's own 18th century prints to contemporary photographs of minority boxers including Lennox Lewis and Amir Khan as well as souvenirs, medals and other boxing paraphernalia, including an original Lonsdale belt from the 1920s.
