Club 1943: 40th anniversary report and other papers
Club 1943, which had its meeting place in Hampstead, was founded as a weekly rendezvous for refugees from Nazi oppression. its membership was first confined to writers and scientists, but later opened up to all those interested in literature, politics and other intellectual subjects. Lectures were in German or English and were usually attended by between 40 and 75 people. They covered political theory, literature, music, art, science, history, medicine, psychology, ethics and religion. The first president was H. J. Rehfisch, one of the co-founders of the club with Karl Wolff, Monty Jacobs and others.
