Scope and Content

This collection of copy papers deals with the project of a group called the Langham Committee, whose object was to put to work several hundred German, Austrian and Czech Jewish refugees on the renovation of a delapidated manor House and grounds, Tythrop House. For a system of block guarantees a small band of young people came together calling themselves 'the Langham Committee' which has been able to ensure that some 200 working class men and girls are able to enter Great Britain.
This copy appeal and account documents the committee's activities. 929/3 is a narrative account of its activities, written by Joyce Weiner, the depositor. It is not known what her connection to the committee was.
