Arc of History Panel Discussion: Bridging Generations
Wed 21 Jan 2026 7:00PM
On the occasion of Holocaust Memorial Day 2026 and 30 years of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism, the Austrian Cultural Forum London is honoured to announce a special panel discussion, as part of our Arc of History Lecture Series.
The panel discussion entitled 'Bridging Generations - 30 Years of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria' will feature speakers from different generations — from a survivor of atrocities committed by the Nazis to second- and third-generation descendants, as well as Professor Hannah Lessing, Managing Director of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism.
The discussion will be the framework for the opening of the travelling exhibition 'From Repression to Remembrance' by the Austrian National Fund of the Republic of Austria.
About the Exhibition
The exhibition ‘From Repression to Remembrance’ describes the tasks and activities carried out by the Austrian National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism in areas such as Nazi victim recognition, project funding, art restitution, documenting life stories of survivors, the restoration of Jewish cemeteries in Austria, the Simon Wiesenthal Prize for outstanding civic engagement to combat antisemitism and promote Holocaust education, the renewal of the Austrian exhibition at Auschwitz, and the General Settlement Fund and its compensation and restitution for Nazi victims.
