Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies

Siegfried and Lotte Moos Papers The papers give an insight into the lives of two, nominally Jewish, refugees from the Nazis who had to flee Germany in 1933 because of their political beliefs and activities.

Our Exile Archives grow again!

The Siegfried & Lotte Moos Papers, documenting two anti-Nazi German refugees who reshaped their lives in Britain, have now been catalogued.

This collection offers a vivid portrait of exile, creativity, and resistance.
