David Herman

Childhood and the 
Refugees from Nazism 

From psychoanalysis to children's literature, how Jewish refugees changed the way we think about childhood.

David Herman worked in television for twenty years. Since then he has been a regular contributor to publications including The Jewish Chronicle, Jewish Quarterly, The AJR Journal and Jewish Renaissance, New Statesman, TLS and Prospect. He has also given regular talks and chaired events at venues including Jewish Book Week, The LJCC, JW3, and The Lockdown University.

Jewish refugees led a revolution in thinking about childhood that affected every part of British life from child development and social work to post-war art and literature.
