Description
To coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day 2021, No Night So Dark discussion will tell the remarkable story of the Czech-Jewish Wels family, from the late nineteenth century through WWII to the present day.
Streamed live on the Czech Centre London Facebook page.
When Oxford-based Colin Wels first opened a box that his father Tomáš had kept for decades in the back of a cupboard, he had little idea what it contained. His father - the only family member to survive the Holocaust - had never spoken about his life before he came to Britain as a 19-year-old in 1939. Through the contents of the box, made up of hundreds of letters and documents, photographs, sketches and drawings, the immense creative energy of several generations of the family was brought to life.
This event will include a discussion chaired by Prague-based journalist David Vaughan with Tomáš’s son Colin Wels and translator Gerry Turner, who played a key role in helping Colin to find a way back to his family’s past, and marks the recent publication of “Sancta Familia”, a humorous - but with hindsight, hugely poignant - evocation of family life, written in late 1938 by Tomáš and illustrated by his 13-year-old brother Martin.
Organised by the Czech Centre London in collaboration with Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to British Culture and Czech Radio.
