Hughesovka - Welsh Migration and...
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. People’s Collection Wales.The source material (photographs and other images) within this resource comes from the Hughesovka Research Archive, held at the Glamorgan Archives, and these are reproduced here with their kind permission.

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.

This first resource explores the life of a young Austrian Jewish girl, Dorothy Fleming, before she arrived in Cardiff. This resource was produced as part of the 'Côf a lithr, llythyrau a geidw: creating Holocaust resources for Welsh schools' partnership project between Centre for the Movement of People (CMOP), Aberystwyth University, and Jewish History Association of South Wales/Cymdeithas Hanes Iddewig De Cymru (JHASW/CHIDC).

Heritage Preservation Toolkit
