Please join us online for an exclusive interview hosted by Dr Simon Holloway, featuring David Joseph KC.
David Joseph KC will be talking about his recently published book, Burgenland, Village Secrets and the First Tremors of the Holocaust. Told through the story of ten generations of one family, this book relates the arc of Jewish history in Central Europe, and a comprehensive description of what happened in one Austrian village in March 1938 that was ground zero of what would become the Holocaust. The book also takes a forensic and critical look at the world’s wholly inadequate response. David will be interviewed by Dr Simon Holloway, and will address the challenges of writing a family history of the Holocaust and the lessons that we can learn today from a troubled European past.
David Joseph KC practises from Essex Court Chambers in London as counsel and as arbitrator. He has specialised in commercial law and international arbitration for over thirty-five years and has appeared as counsel in some of the most significant cases in the field notably in the English Supreme Court (Enka v Chubb) and in the Singapore Court of Appeal (Astro Nusantara v FM). He is the author of Jurisdiction and Arbitration Agreements and their Enforcement (3rd Ed Thomson Sweet & Maxwell). Outside of law, he has recently written, Burgenland, Village Secrets and the First Tremors of the Holocaust. He lives in London with his family.
