Jewish and Holocaust Studies. The Centre's next Screen & Talk
event includes the screening of 'A Collection of Art and Blood: The
Goering Catalogue' followed by a Q&A panel with Jean-Marc Dreyfus,
co-writer of the documentary. During the war, Hermann Goering, Hitler’s
right-hand man, set up for personal ends a gigantic business of
spoliation of works of art belonging to thousands of Jewish families.
These lootings were conscientiously noted in a catalogue, an archive
that came out of oblivion in 2015. Carried out like a real police
investigation, the film takes us to the four corners of the world to
search for witnesses, archives and traces of a story that does not
fade. The event also forms part of the Northern UK Jewish Studies Partnership's annual research collaboration and postgraduate training workshop. 5:45pm, Thu 10 June 2021. Free online event register here.
