It was a pleasure to contribute to @WinColl Studium series and inform the staff and students about a little known part of the College’s history
Last week, Outreach Fellow @CharlieK_Hist visited @WinColl & gave a lecture titled 'Four Jewish Refugees, Winchester College, & the Holocaust' tracking the wartime experiences of Boris Ruebner, George Gruen, Carl Amberg, & Edgar Feuchtwanger who were all educated at the school.

Luke Summers's article explores how British Jews responded to the Bosnian War of 1992-1995. It questions how Jewish memories of the Holocaust influenced the way the community responded to the genocide.
