SHATTERED
To mark the 80th anniversary of the dreadful events of Kristallnacht in November 1938, the Wiener Library have included a photograph of my father in Berlin and two letters between him and his sister in their exhibition, SHATTERED: Pogrom, November 1938. This is all further evidence that ‘family’ papers are testament to historical events.
