Biographical History

The Kartell-Convent der Verbindungen deutscher Studenten Jüdischen Glaubens (K.C.) was an umbrella organisation of Jewish-German student fraternities. Founded in 1896 it had to cease to function in 1933. After the Second World War refugees reconstituted K.C. chapters in some of their respective countries of settlement including the UK. See Weltsch, R. (ed.), Leo Baeck Institute Year Book, vol. 3, 1958, pp. 122-39.

The correspondence documents the involvement of The Wiener Library in various K.C. activities in the UK. This includes a K.C. gathering at the Library (1955), a public talk by C. C.

Brain Trust meeting (1963).
