About this event
Alfred Wiener Memorial Lecture Visitors to Auschwitz are confronted by scores of objects: shoes and suitcases, brushes, glasses, even human hair. Stolen from the victims of the Holocaust, they testify to the scale of the atrocities committed there. But can they tell us more? This lecture reveals that careful analysis of these remains, combined with serious attention to the testimony of those who were dragged into this abyss, can offer new insights into the history of the Holocaust. A lecture by Zoe Waxman This event is also available to watch live online. To register, visit: Material Witness: Understanding the Objects of Auschwitz | Gresham College

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
