On #holocaustmemorialday, we're sharing the Ephraim and Neumayer collection. Vera Ephraim was a Dalcroze Eurhythmics teacher and her husband Hans Neumayer was a blind musician and teacher. Both Germans of Jewish ancestry, they were killed in the Holocaust.

I'm genuinely so sorry to hear that. Please, do come and chat to us at the Welcome desk at any point or email us to library@surrey.ac.uk. We would be happy to find appropriate areas for studying on campus and in the Library.

Got an idea that could make the Library even better? We want to hear about it! Enter our Next Chapter Challenge which launches in February, and help improve our services, spaces, and your student experience. The winning entry wins £500! Head to our webpage for more.
