John Hilary
Magnates and Masterpieces: The German-Jewish Collectors of Edwardian Britain.
Milim invites you to a fascinating talk by John Hilary, exploring his new book Magnates and Masterpieces: The German-Jewish Collectors of Edwardian Britain. This richly illustrated history uncovers the lives of a small but influential group of German-Jewish magnates who made Britain their home in the late 19th century.
Through their remarkable art collections, ranging from fine paintings to exquisite decorative works, they helped shape Britain’s cultural landscape, while their philanthropy earned them public recognition in the Edwardian era. Yet, during the First World War, their loyalties were questioned, and their contributions were largely forgotten.
In this engaging talk, John Hilary restores these figures to their rightful place in history, examining their heritage, legacy and lasting impact. An honorary professor at the University of Nottingham, he brings deep insight and compelling storytelling to this overlooked chapter of British and Jewish history.

This Ain’t Rock ’n’ Roll: Pop Music, the Swastika, and the Third Reich
Milim presents a powerful and thought-provoking talk with Daniel Rachel, exploring his new book This Ain’t Rock ’n’ Roll: Pop Music, the Swastika, and the Third Reich. In this compelling event, Daniel examines the troubling and often overlooked relationship between popular music and Nazi imagery across the past seventy years.
From shock tactics in punk to provocative stage personas, generations of artists have engaged with symbols and aesthetics tied to one of history’s darkest regimes. But why has this fascination persisted and what responsibility do musicians, media, and audiences bear? Drawing on meticulous research Daniel navigates these difficult questions with sensitivity, encouraging us to reconsider the cultural legacy of music we love.
An award-winning author and former musician, Daniel brings both insight and nuance to this challenging subject, offering an essential conversation about history, memory, and ethics in popular culture
