A special evening to launch the new exhibition Code Name Mary: The Extraordinary Life of Muriel Gardiner, with legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave and Lord Dubs, himself a Kindertransport refugee and now a tireless campaigner for refugee rights.
The two distinguished speakers will reflect on their own experiences, on refugee issues today, and what can be learnt from Muriel Gardiner’s courage in saving hundreds from fascism in 1930s Austria.
This unique event will take place in the home where Sigmund Freud and his family, including his daughter Anna Freud, settled in 1938 after fleeing Nazi oppression in Vienna. It is one of the few museums in the UK that celebrates the life and work of two refugees.
