The world's oldest archive of the Holocaust, begun in 1933 before it happened, free to read in a Russell Square townhouse.
Alfred Wiener was a German Jew who saw what the Nazis were and began collecting the evidence in 1933, first in Amsterdam and from 1939 in London, where his office fed the British government and the press through the war and supplied material to the prosecutors at Nuremberg. It became a research library and has never stopped collecting: more than a million items, documents, photographs, eyewitness accounts gathered in the 1950s while memories were fresh, family papers and the propaganda itself, with the British copy of the International Tracing Service archive on the survivors and the catalogue of the United Nations War Crimes Commission that it fought to have opened. The townhouse on Russell Square, its home since 2011, has a reading room anyone may use, a gallery of changing exhibitions on the ground floor and a programme of talks. Entry is free.
