Established in Amsterdam in 1933, the Library was originally founded as an information service to reveal the true nature of events in the Third Reich. Today, the Library holds an exceptional collection of over two million items including published and unpublished works, press cuttings, photographs and eyewitness testimonies, and it is this collection that lies at the heart of our work. The Library aims to serve scholars, researchers, the media and the public as a library of record, engaging people of all ages and backgrounds in understanding the Holocaust and its historical context. It provides a resource to oppose anti-Semitism and other forms of prejudice and racism. We reach out to audiences across the UK encouraging students, the media, writers, policymakers, educators, legal professionals, refugees, survivors and their descendants to use our wealth of materials in their search for the truth. The Library is committed to exploring innovative ways to promote study and engagement with source materials, and to enable connections and explorations with modern day issues.

We also run a temporary exhibition programme throughout the year and our current First World War exhibition ‘The Kaiser’s Jewish Soldiers: Loyalty, Identity, Betrayal’ showcases objects, documents and artefacts from our extensive collections. Story of the Library The Library is named after Dr Alfred Wiener, a German Jew who after the First World War began to fight against the surge of antisemitism in Germany. In 1933, Dr Wiener and his family fled to Amsterdam where he established the Jewish Central Information Office, which collected information with the purpose of revealing the true nature of events in the Third Reich. In 1939 the JCIO was transferred to London, and throughout the Second World War Allied Governments as well as the BBC made extensive use of its collection, which was increasingly referred to as ‘Dr Wiener's Library'. After the war, the Library provided critical evidence to the Nuremberg Trials and later to the Eichmann Trial, and became a key source of information for survivors attempting to trace their families. Today, the Library’s collection continues to grow with more items added every year, including materials on other genocides such as Rwanda and Darfur. The Wiener Library is open to the public five days a week free of charge. Read more about our work and our history at www.wienerlibrary.co.uk
