Jewish Country Houses, Collections and National Memory

From Monday 17th until Sunday 23^rd May the Zoom lecture will be Jewish Country Houses, Collections and National Memory, a joint presentation by Abigail Green, Professor of Modern European History, University of Oxford, and Tom Stammers, Associate Professor in Modern European History, University of Durham. Abigail is working with the National Trust on a Knowledge Exchange Fellowship at Oxford helping to reveal shared Jewish histories across NT properties. She writes: “The country houses of the Jewish elite that were once ubiquitous across Europe have largely faded from national memory. What do these houses and the extraordinary art collections that once embellished them tell us about the changing place of Jews and Jewishness in Britain in the 19^th and 20^th centuries?”
