Biographical History

Arbeitskreis 1961 was a loose association of London-based Germans - Jewish refugees and gentile exiles - from the fields of religion, politics and education. In response to a wave of antisemitic incidents in West Germany it had been founded in 1961 on instigation of Alfred Wiener, who also served as chairman. Its aim and objective was to promote adult education about the Nazi past among young Germans living London.
