This resource invites learners to approach the history of Welsh industrialisation from a different perspective. The city of Hughesovka, today’s Donetsk in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine (former Russian Empire), was founded by Welsh and British workers. Using Hughesovka as a case study, the resource aims to enable learners to develop a more nuanced and critical perspective on the history of industrialisation in their country and to critically engage with archival material.Authors: Clara Defachel and Dr Victoria Donovan, University of St Andrews, Scotland.

The Holocaust and Wales: Kindertransport 1
Fleeing across Europe to escape the Nazis, about 10,000 Jewish children arrived in Britain between December 1938 and September 1939 on the Kindertransport (children’s transport). The British government only admitted unaccompanied minors through this scheme, even though most of them had lived with their parents and other members of their families before their flight. In this collection of resources, we explore some of the stories of child refugees who came on the Kindertransport to Wales.Image above: Dorothy Fleming, aged four, standing in Rathauspark in Vienna.

Young People's Digital Diversity Exchange
This project is a celebration of culture and heritage curated through the lens of young people, particularly people from the ethnic minority, as a tool to promote diversity and community cohesion.The project was led by young people, who came from a diverse range of backgrounds to learn and explore their cultural similarities and differences, with the aim of understanding and educating themselves while developing a lasting sense of a wider community. The enthusiasm sparked by our Windrush heritage and the Black Lives Matter movement has deeply impacted many young individuals. They are keen to share their stories, raise awareness, and eagerly seek to educate school children and families about their heritage and Black Welsh History. Central to our approach was the idea of empowerment through agency. Recognising that each participant brings a unique perspective to the table, we empowered them to take the reins of the interview process. Rather than being subjected to external scrutiny, participants were given the opportunity to interview each other, an idea that emerged organically from within the group, fostering a sense of ownership over the storytelling process. In this collaborative setting, barriers were broken down.

The Holocaust and Wales: Internment of ‘enemy...
In this collection of resources, we explore the internment of Jewish refugees as ‘enemy aliens’ in 1939. After the outbreak of war in September 1939, all Germans and Austrians in Britain became ‘enemy aliens’ and had to register with the police. Although most remained at liberty, in the summer of 1940, restrictions tightened due to the risk of German invasion, and tens of thousands were interned. The increase in numbers of those interned exhausted the capacity of existing sites and, although most refugees were interned in camps in Britain, some were deported to other countries, notably Canada and Australia.Using two oral history testimonies, this resource explores the internment of Jewish Refugees as ‘enemy aliens’ in the UK and their experience of having been sent to camps in Canada and Australia.This is resource 2 of 2 on the topic of Internment of ‘enemy aliens’ and it is recommended that teachers use both resources.Image above: Enemy Aliens and Internees card for Heinrich David Pinkus.

The Holocaust and Wales: Kristallnacht 2
On 9 and 10 November 1938, the Nazi regime conducted a series of attacks called ‘pogroms’ against the Jewish population in Germany and other Nazi-occupied territories. This event became known as Kristallnacht or ‘Night of Broken Glass’ because of the shattered glass that filled the streets after the vandalism and destruction of synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses and homes. In this collection of resources, we explore former Welsh resident, Julius Weil’s recollections of this devastating event.

John Cornwell: Colliery photos
John Cornwell was a freelance photographer who took many photographs of collieries, mostly in south Wales and the English Midlands, both underground and on the surface, during the 1970s and early 1980s. He perfected a method of underground photography using the standard colliery lighting and was able to photograph coal faces, roadways, shafts and equipment with amazing clarity. In addition to photographing working mines he also recorded abandoned mine workings, above and below ground. John Cornwell was also well respected in the broader field of industrial archaeology. He published a number of books on Welsh and English collieries. The copyright of his south Wales images are now owned by National Museum Wales.
