THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements, the charity’s governing instrument, and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2019).
OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AND MISSION
The Wiener Holocaust Library’s (‘The Library’s’) objectives and its principal activity in the year under review concern the advancement of the study and knowledge of the Holocaust and related subjects, including genocide more broadly. No substantial change in the activity of The Library for the year to 31 December 2021 is contemplated. The trustees are aware of their requirements to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, ‘Charities and Public Benefit’.
Formed in 1933, The Wiener Holocaust Library is Britain’s leading institute for the study of the Holocaust and genocide. The Library’s unique collection of over two million items is the oldest of its kind in the world. It includes published and unpublished works, documentation, press cuttings, photographs, and eyewitness testimony.
Our vision is to continuously develop a library, archive and information service for the UK and the international community, dedicated to supporting research, learning, and teaching and advocacy about the Holocaust and genocide, their causes and consequences.
Our mission is:
-
To serve scholars, professional researchers, the media, and the public as a library of record.
-
To engage people of all ages and backgrounds in understanding the Holocaust and its historical context through an active educational programme.
-
To be a living memorial to the evils of the past by ensuring that our wealth of materials is put at the service of the future.
Our commitment is:
-
To continue to deploy The Library and its resources to oppose antisemitism and other forms of prejudice and intolerance.
-
To strengthen The Library’s reputation by retaining its independence and objectivity via its scholarly activities and publications.
The Library has been keeping truth alive since 1933, by collecting comprehensive documentation and personal records, preserving evidence and memories for future generations, and by engaging people of all ages and backgrounds in the most challenging facts of history. Our activities give a voice to the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides. We support education and confront antisemitism and Holocaust denial and distortion. We work to bring together networks of people from different backgrounds. We put the past at the service of the future.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Covid pandemic inevitably impacted The Library and its activities. Trustees are enormously grateful to the Senior Management Team, to The Library’s staff, to all donors, to our supporting advisors and service providers, and to our wider community of stakeholders, for helping us to navigate the challenges of 2020.
Due to the lockdowns, The Library experienced sharp reductions in the number of visitors, totalling 1,558 (2019: 9,068), of which 1,308 came to see our exhibitions (2019: 6,392). The reading room opened for short periods of 2020, subject to Health & Safety restrictions, during which time we received 250 researching visitors (2019: 2,676). The team achieved tremendous success in converting our activities into on-line events of which 50 were held, attracting 1,795 attendees. Together with our relaunched website, the expanded The Holocaust Explained website and our highly active social media presence, the reach of The Library has expanded significantly, as the following attests.
In 2020, The Library curated and displayed two exhibitions. Forgotten Victims: The Nazi Genocide of the Roma and Sinti, was originally shown as a physical exhibition and subsequently adapted for online viewing in partnership with the United Nations. An article by Dr Barbara Warnock about the exhibition, published on the online platform The Conversation , has now been viewed by over 300,000 people. The subsequent exhibition ‘ Jewish Resistance to the Holocaust ’ was launched in the autumn and widely praised in the national and

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
international press. Our exhibitions were accompanied by a programme of over 50 online public events, including a new series entitled ‘ Racism, Antisemitism, Colonialism and Genocide ’ which explores connections between genocide in the 20th and 21st centuries, European colonial projects and modern-day racism and antisemitism. Our seminar series, ‘ PhD and a Cup of Tea ’, was re-imagined as an online event series, with the first virtual seminar showcasing in June.
The Holocaust Explained saw continued interest in 2020, with 2,292,157 page views (an increase of 5.35% on 2019) and 1,299,159 users (increase of 12.65% on 2019). These users originate from 227 countries with the top five being the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and India. Our three-year project to review and enhance the site was successfully completed and relaunched in March 2020 with 275 new articles and over 500 archival sources across nine sections. We have now begun phase two of this project, which will further develop the website as a central part of The Library’s educational strategy.
Our website redevelopment project started in May, and the new site was completed and launched in early January 2021. The redesign has greatly increased the functionality and accessibility of the site. Our website visitor statistics for 2020 in comparison to 2019 show that there is a significant increased interest in the main website with 135,000 users, (up 47.9% on 2019) and 169,000 individual sessions (up 30% on 2019).
The Library received a total of 126 documents donated towards its collections: 17 document collections, including three digital photographic collections, 74 books, two periodicals and 26 pamphlets, manuscripts and unpublished memoirs including 12 digital collections. The Library continued actively to digitise its collections whenever possible. In 2020 we digitised 2,500 pages of material.
Staff participated in 30 workshops, talks and conferences, enabling The Library to reach over 1,850 people through these activities. These included a session for training teachers at Middlesex University on teaching the Holocaust, the “ Using Radical Collections: Challenges and Opportunities ” Workshop, for Searchlight Archives held at the University of Northampton, and a Research Discovery workshop with the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway University of London. Our staff have delivered an online session on using evidence in teaching Kristallnacht for the German Historical Society, participated in an online workshop for A-Level students for the Being Human festival run by Rebecca Clifford through Swansea University, and chaired a panel at the Holocaust Research in Challenging Times online conference.
The Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (‘HGRP’) launched its new website in January. HGRP aims to widen opportunities for new and established scholars, postgraduate students, museum and heritage professors and educators to engage with and advance new scholarship on the Holocaust and genocide through partnered activities, such as exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and fellowships.
The Library developed a publishing partnership with Granta Books. The first publication within this partnership, ‘ The Fatherland and the Jews: Two Pamphlets by Alfred Wiener’, was launched on 21 January 2021 and has now sold over 1,000 copies. These two pamphlets, “ Prelude to Pogroms? Facts for the Thoughtful ” and “ German Judaism in Political, Economic and Cultural Terms ”, mark the first time that the writings of Dr Alfred Wiener, the founder of The Library, have been published in English.
The Library is the UK copyholder of the International Tracing Service (‘ITS’) archive. During lockdown, demand increased markedly. Its two Senior Researchers processed 341 (2019: 272) new enquiries, of which 244 (2019:182) came from survivors as well as friends and relatives of Holocaust victims. The remaining 97 (2019: 90) came from academics, heir-tracing companies, and television/film researchers. ITS-staff have been able to reach wider audiences through online events and have spoken at an online workshop ‘ Jewish History & Genealogy Resources ’ alongside representatives from ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ magazine; and Jeanette Rosenberg from Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain.
We continue to participate in the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure [EHRI], the third phase of which received confirmation of its funding in early 2020. The Library is a vital partner in helping to ensure that it becomes a permanent institution on the ESFRI roadmap. The Library has contributed to a proposed plan to strengthen the UK’s contribution to EHRI and to create an EHRI-UK via funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, led by colleagues at Kings College.

THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Despite the Covid pandemic, The Library has maintained a good financial position.
During 2020, The Library’s activities generated a net movement in funds amounting to a surplus of £1,063,933 (2019: £89,919). Of this total, unrestricted funds increased by £119,824 (2019: £60,592) and restricted funds rose by £944,109 (2019: £29,327). Unrestricted general funds advanced to £651,706 (2019: £626,994).
The Library maintains and develops its work as a result of the generosity of its supporters. This was especially the case in 2020 with the receipt of a £1,000,000 legacy from the Ernest Hecht Estate, dedicated to a wide range of activities over the next ten years. The Wiener Library Endowment Trust (‘WLET’), the Association of Jewish Refugees (‘AJR’), the German Foreign Office, and The Sigrid Rausing Trust all made donations at the same level as the previous year. The Board greatly values these close and longstanding supporter relationships.
The Library benefits each year from donations and grants made by a wide range of individuals and grant giving trusts. Despite the dramatic events caused by the Covid pandemic, unrestricted donations in this category continued at an equivalent level to last year, totalling £239,297 (2019: £257,593). The Board remains immensely grateful to its supporters who, year-in-year out, continue to show their commitment to the Library’s mission.
Total expenditures during 2020 amounted to £995,854 (2019: £1,109,671). Of these, 66.6% (2019: 67.8%) was covered by unrestricted funds and 33.4% (2019: 32.2%) by restricted funds. The Library is a reasonably high fixed-cost operation. Salaries amounted 64% (2019: 59%) of overall running costs. Another 24% consisted of coverage of ongoing operating costs, including property expenses and maintenance, IT and office expenditures. The remaining 12% are outlays related to different projects, some of longer and others of shorter duration, practically all covered by restricted funds. Due to the Covid related shut-down and other restrictions, these in general quite variable project outlays were reduced compared to 2019.
These comments should be read in conjunction with the financial statements on pages 14 to 27.
Reserves Policy
Our Unrestricted General Reserves at the end of the year were £651,706 (2019: £626,994). Total funds (Unrestricted and Restricted) stood at £7,394,812 (2019: £6,330,879) of which Restricted Funds were £3,530,619 (2019: £2,586,510). In Unrestricted Funds of £3,864,191 (2019: £3,744,369) are a building repair fund of £65,000 (2019: £20,000) and a digitalisation designated fund of £100,000 (2019: nil).
The Board carefully monitors its current and expected cashflows to ensure continued liquidity and reviews quarterly the level of funds held in unrestricted reserves, both general and designated. The policy is to ensure that general reserves are maintained at a minimum equal to six months’ charitable expenditure. The Board, recognising the need to safeguard The Library’s mission over a longer term and to develop the institution’s offerings and activities, reviews annually the policy considering then current and foreseeable circumstances. Given the uncertainties relating to the economic situation and the Covid-19 pandemic, along with the need to invest and to diversify The Library’s funding sources over the medium term, the Board decided on maintaining a somewhat higher level of general reserves. At year-end, General Reserves are approximately 1-2 months of operating costs higher than stipulated by the policy.
Designated funds are reviewed annually and set aside to support cyclical or periodic expenditures in earmarked areas.
Restricted funds comprise donations and grants committed for specific purposes under terms set out by the donors and funders.
Investment policy and returns
The Library’s Finance & Risk Committee is responsible for the management of its investments and reviews these on a quarterly basis. The Committee draws on a small group of Trustees and individuals with relevant experience to formulate investment strategies. As part of risk control discipline, the committee ensures the investments are appropriately diversified and monitors risk exposures in the context of other investments. Trustees confirm that investments are held in accordance with the powers available to them.
During the year, the Catalyst Endowment restricted fund made up the principal of invested assets. It is largely invested in funds managed by Troy Asset Management. The endowment’s investment objective is to generate a sufficient annual total return to finance The Library’s education and outreach programme. Trustees wish to

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
maintain the capital value of the investment in line with inflation. During the year, dividends and capital gains added 2.8% to the fund’s starting value.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Wiener Holocaust Library is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It is a registered charity, which is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It was incorporated in 1958 and last changed its constitution in 2015.
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) serve for three years after which period they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The Board of Trustees keeps the skill requirements of its members under review and may appoint a person as a trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee. New trustees may be sought by open advertisement or through a dialogue with existing supporters of The Library. Trustees so appointed shall hold office only until the next annual general meeting, when they will need to be re-appointed. The Articles of Association provide for a minimum of three trustees and a maximum of ten trustees. New Trustees are referred to the relevant guidance of the Charity Commission, and offered an induction meeting with the Chair, the Chair of the Finance and Risk Committee, other Trustees, and the Director as appropriate. The members of the Board elect the Chair. The members of the Board who have served during the year and since the year-end are set out below.
The Board of Trustees has constituted two committees to support its governance. The Finance & Risk Committee and the Fundraising Committee meet on a quarterly basis in advance of the quarterly Board meeting, to consider progress in the areas defined in their respective Terms of Reference.
The strategy and policies of The Library are decided by the Board of Trustees; the responsibility for the execution of those policies is delegated in the first instance to the Director who is appointed by the Trustees. The Director is responsible to the Board of Trustees, through the Chair, for the day-to-day management of The Library. The Director is supported by the Senior Management Team comprising the Deputy Director/Head of Research, the Head of Collections, and the Senior Curator/Head of Education, who report regularly to the Board through the Director.
The delivery of The Library’s core services and education and outreach programme are made possible by the quality and enthusiasm of its staff, backed by a team of skilled and committed volunteers of all ages, who often dedicate their free time and evenings to The Library. The Board is grateful to everyone who contributed to the successful operation of The Library; it is a team effort.
The remuneration of staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with inflation to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment. The Library sets the pay and remuneration for its key management staff by reference to equivalent posts in similar institutions as appropriate.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Patrons
We have been extremely fortunate in bringing together a small group of Patrons, with a close interest in The Library’s work, who assist The Library in raising its profile and in broadening its network of contacts. This could include from time to time effecting introductions and participating in or hosting of fundraising events on behalf of The Library. Patrons hold an honorary position and therefore there is no reporting or disclosure requirement.
These Patrons, from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of skills, are:
Dr Yossi Beilin Ms Emma Kane Ms Helena Bonham Carter CBE Mr David Lewis Dr Colin Boswell The Rt Hon Shahid Malik Sir Andrew Burns KCMG Dr Gabriele Matzner-Holzer Mr Jonathan Caplan QC The Rt Hon David Miliband Sir Mick Davis Rabbi the Baroness Neuberger DBE The Lord Finkelstein OBE The Lord Pannick QC Prof Anthony Finkelstein CBE Dame Esther Rantzen DBE Mr Martin Fraenkel The Rt Hon Sir Malcolm Rifkind The Rt Hon Margaret Hodge MP Sir Bernard Rix Mrs Tamara Isaacs CBE Mrs Ellen Schmidt
Risk Management and Internal Controls
The Trustees and Senior Management Team maintain a Risk Register through which the major risks faced by The Library are recorded, monitored, and mitigating actions are noted. The Finance & Risk Committee (F&R) meets quarterly and reviews the Register. The Board itself reviews the Register bi-annually with the Chair of F&R providing a status report on the Register. Through these risk-management measures, The Library regularly monitors and implements any necessary changes and ensures that financial and operational controls are in place to protect The Library, its members, its staff, the public, and other stakeholders. The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate identified risks to an acceptable level.
The Library’s current high-risk areas are:
-
Impact of Covid pandemic and its aftermath. Operations are continuously calibrated and adjusted to all local and national public health advice, and in line with observance of restrictions, as well as best practice, to protect staff and visitors. Risk assessments are produced as necessary by The Library’s Health & Safety Officer and reviewed by the Director and Senior Management Team.
-
Reduction of funding from major donors. The Library maintains close contact with donors throughout the year, remaining sensitive to their circumstances and requirements. A prudent Reserves Policy aids in The Library’s financial resilience.
-
Security. As a library of record on the Holocaust, The Library faces threats both to its physical and digital security. Security systems are in place, tested, reviewed, and maintained regularly. The Library has achieved Cyber Essentials accreditation as a demonstration of its measures to ensure cyber security. Close co-operation with Police and security specialists, particularly the Community Security Trust, is maintained. Regarding the preservation of the valuable collection, regular monitoring and stock checks are carried out. Sensitive archival material can only be consulted under supervision. A disaster recovery plan and insurance protection are in place. Data is backed up continuously and hosted offsite in a secure data centre. The Library’s digitisation strategy adopts best practice to assure the preservation of the collection for future generations.
-
Financial management. A system of internal control provides assurance against material misstatement or loss. These include annual budgets approved by the Board, quarterly consideration of financial results and on-going monitoring by the Finance & Risk Committee, as well as the Investment Advisory Board.
-
Loss of key personnel. As a highly specialised archive, the Board is aware of the risk of loss of institutional knowledge, and the Finance & Risk Committee considers succession planning on a regular basis. The Library sets pay and remuneration with reference to equivalent posts in comparable UK institutions.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
FUNDRAISING
The Library undertakes fundraising activity in a variety of ways primarily via a personal approach, working with trusts and foundations, and through online campaigns (e.g. The Big Give). The Director works together with The Library’s Development Coordinator, to bring together senior management and individual staff to meet fundraising goals for restricted and unrestricted income according to an annual budget. This work is overseen and supported by a Fundraising Committee, which meets on a quarterly basis. The Committee consists of the Director, Development Coordinator, and a group of Trustees and advisors led by the Chair.
Our fundraising work includes a plan to boost unrestricted income and to raise additional restricted income for key projects. The focus for restricted funding is currently directed at achieving donations for years 3-5 of our Digital Transformation Project, for the expansion of family research provision (linked to our work with the International Tracing Service Archive) and for the expansion of our Education Programme (linked to our work with The Holocaust Explained ).
We use mail, email, social media, and telephone communications, and run a Wiener Holocaust Library Membership and a Wall of Honour plaque scheme. These activities are developed in line with the Fundraising Code of Practice set by the Regulator. Our fundraising promise, cited below, is available on our website.
-
‘When you support The Wiener Holocaust Library, you can be sure of the following:
-
We will never pass your contact details to anyone without your permission;
-
We will only contact you if you have expressed an interest in our work;
-
If we phone you, we will always check you are happy to take the call;
-
If you ask us to change how we communicate with you, or stop, we will respect that;
-
We do not engage in cold-calling, door to door or street fundraising;
-
We endeavour to ensure no one ever feels pressurised to support our work;
-
We adhere to the Fundraising Code of Practice;
-
All our activities are open, fair, honest and legal.’
The Library has robust policies in place regarding vulnerable people and treating donors fairly. We are committed to providing training for all our fundraising staff to reinforce our ethics on a regular basis. No complaints regarding fundraising activities were received during the year.
FUTURE PLANS
We are at a unique moment in the history of The Wiener Holocaust Library, facing great challenges and exciting opportunities at the same time. The Library remains a vital resource for fighting antisemitism, racism, and prejudice, and in the context of a global pandemic its mission has become urgent in new ways.
This September, we are embarking on a five-year digital transformation project that has set the ambitious goal of digitising one third of The Library’s entire holdings. We see this project as crucial to our overall aim to grow our impact and increase our reach across the United Kingdom and internationally. Working in partnership will continue to be an important means of achieving our potential.
We have embedded our refreshed identity and branding in our online presence, both on social media platforms and on our websites. Our main website has been overhauled to make it much more accessible, dynamic and easy to navigate. From a user perspective, the new website displays much better on mobile phones than was formerly the case. This new site provides a much-improved foundation for future digital work. For example, its Wordpress platform is compatible with a huge range of other components of the wider digital ecosystem.
Our plans continue to be informed by the same values set in 2019:
-
We are scholarly : Our work is evidence-based, contextualised and intellectually robust.
-
We are approachable : We are here to serve and help everyone, regardless of their background or academic achievements.
-
We are respectful : We value everyone’s uniqueness, worth and dignity, regardless of background, abilities, or religious beliefs.
-
We are authentic : We stand up for historical truth and its complexities and believe in the integrity of historical evidence.

THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
This year, as we approach the halfway point of our 2019-23 Strategic Plan, we are pleased to note the fulfilment of many milestones, including the delivery of a new website cited above. As part of a refreshed version of the plan to take place in Summer 2021, we are adapting our strategic priorities to enhance our focus on what we would like to achieve in the next five years (2021-2025). We plan to focus on the following priority areas:
Expand our education and outreach: We are launching our plan to expand The Library’s education programme, developing a targeted education offer across the whole UK, not just in London. This centres on our flagship resource The Holocaust Explained and the unparalleled experience of workshops based on our unique collections. Following the launch of our Refugee Map online resource this autumn, we will be developing an outreach programme, focused on synagogue communities in the first instance, with a view to promoting the International Tracing Resource Digital Archive as a vital tool for family research in the UK.
Grow our resources : For our resources to match our ambitions, we intend to grow our donation income through expanding our supporter base through innovative schemes, such as building our membership programme and our US Friends arm. We will also seek to diversify revenue sources and focus on areas where heritage organisations can offer unique benefits to donors, such as through legacy giving.
Increase our research impact: We will seek to transform the impact of The Library as an engine of Holocaust research worldwide. With the support of a legacy from the Ernest Hecht Charitable Foundation, we will initiate a fellowship programme. We will build staff expertise and develop programmes in partnership through the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership, also supported by EHCF. We will launch a UK-wide activity programme to raise awareness of the International Tracing Service Archive as a resource of unique importance for academic and family researchers. Following the success of ‘ The Fatherland and the Jews ’ (2021) as our first joint publication, we look forward to deepening our partnership with Granta Books.
Enhance access to our collections : The central pillar of a detailed plan to revolutionise access to The Library’s collections is our Digital Transformation Project. This project plan includes multiple elements ranging from cataloguing our diverse and precious collections to integrating acquisition and cataloguing workflows to make the most of increased outreach. We will work hard to reduce, or where possible eliminate, cataloguing backlogs and work towards the implementation of a Discovery System. This will allow us to harness, and enhance, our extensive records, finding aids and metadata, bringing them together into a single integrated, intelligent search portal. We will also strive towards achieving archive accreditation and improve our integration with other library catalogues. This will not only help us raise our profile, but also help us maximise the number of external providers driving interest in our collections.
Nurture engagement of diverse audiences : Exhibitions will continue to be a key tool for driving engagement with our collections, but we also aim to increase our use of a wide range of new media (e.g. podcasts, video content, animations) to drive engagement with diverse audiences. We have written a communication strategy which includes an annual activity plan tailored towards specific target audiences. In the post pandemic environment, we are more aware than ever that developing audiences through digital platforms will be as crucial as engaging with people face-to-face.
We are confident that we are fulfilling our role as Britain’s Holocaust Archive, but we know we can do still more to bring our collections to life and ensure that we make the most of the vitally important heritage and history that we collect, preserve, and share at The Wiener Holocaust Library.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Wiener Holocaust Library for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of the charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report (which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
11
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report, which incorporates the directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company; or
-
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures can detect irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the use of restricted funds and compliance with employment law, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and Charities SORP.
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to depreciation charges. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Inspecting minutes of Trustees’ meetings;
-
Reviewing calculations for depreciation including reviewing estimated useful economic lives;
-
Reviewing allocations and disclosures relating to restricted funds;
-
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
-
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
-
Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
-
Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and

THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Wiener Holocaust Library is a public benefit entity registered as a charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee and does not have any share capital. It was incorporated on 9 January 1958 (company number: 00596820) and registered as a charity on 20 September 1967 (charity number: 313015).
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and sources of estimation and uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
1.1. Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis The charity’s ability to meet its day-to-day financial liabilities is dependent on the continuing contributions from its donors. Trustees have given due consideration to the experience in 2020 under the Covid-19 pandemic, the financials available todate of this report, the relevant information on donors and activities for the foreseeable future and do not see material uncertainties. On the assumption that contributions will continue and given that planned activities and the charity’s reserves are reviewed regularly, the Board considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
1.3. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the accounting policies, trustees are required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In the view of the trustees, no significant areas are subject to judgement or estimation and no assumptions concerning the future or estimation affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
1.4. Income recognition
All income, including legacies, is recognised once the charity has entitlement to income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably, and, if applicable, any performance conditions are met. All donations and legacies are allocated between unrestricted and restricted funds depending on conditions imposed by the donors. Ancillary income is recognised as earned as the related services or goods are provided. Investment income is recognised when receivable based on notification by the investment managers.
1.5. Unrestricted funds Unrestricted funds generated without further specified purpose are available for the general purposes of the charity. Unrestricted funds include designated funds which the trustees have, at their discretion, set aside for specific purposes.
1.6. Restricted funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donors. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the respective funds.
1.7. Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Expenditure has been included under categories that aggregate all costs relating to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs and are apportioned on employee numbers across the different functions of the charity’s activities. All expenses incurred are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.8. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets individually costing over £1,000 plus VAT are capitalised. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life on a straight-line basis, as follows:
| Office equipment | 3 years |
|---|---|
| Microfilming equipment | 3 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | 10 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 20 years |
Long leasehold property costs are not depreciated until the lease has less than 50 years to run. Property improvements are not capitalised and are written off in the year that the costs are incurred. All assets are subject to an annual impairment review.
17
THE WIENER HOLOCAUST LIBRARY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Heritage assets. The library is considered to possess heritage assets. Their total cost is not valued in the balance sheet as there is no reliable historical information and a conventional valuation would be overly onerous given the nature and uniqueness of some of the items held and might well prove to be arbitrary. No assets purchased by the charity are considered to be heritage assets.
1.9. Employee benefits
Short-term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received. Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102. The Library contributes to a personal, defined contribution, pension scheme, the assets of which are administered by Scottish Widows and Old Mutual Life. All contributed costs are accounted for based on the duration that the charity benefits from the employees’ services. The charity has no further liability under the scheme.
1.10. Current asset investments
Current asset investments represent short-term deposits.
1.11. Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.12. Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at the settlement value.
1.13. Fixed asset investments
Investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year, based on the notification by the investment managers. The Library does not acquire put options, derivatives, or other complex financial instruments. The main form of financial risk faced by The Library is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions.
1.14. Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.15. Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.16. Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Comparative Statement of Funds: Note 23.
14.1. Restricted Funds
Education and outreach funds
‘Catalyst: Endowment / Toni Schiff Memorial Fund (TSMF)’ was created by donations from the Toni Schiff Memorial Fund and others, matched by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Catalyst perpetuates The Library’s learning, engagement, and community programmes. The fund is “expendable” in that income and capital are applied for these purposes, subject to Trustee approval and to a fund life extending to 2037. Capital gains on investments in 2020 were £52,449. Capital transfers to the Education and Outreach Fund were £59,981.
‘Education & Outreach Fund’ is the cost centre for many of the Catalyst defined purposes, including associated salaries and exhibitions. It is funded by the Income of Catalyst, by capital transfers authorised by the trustees, and by other small, specified grants. ‘Special Education Projects Fund,’ from anonymous donors, supports special events and exhibitions.
‘Holocaust Education & Holocaust Explained Fund’ provided by the Tolkien Trust, the Pauline and Harold Berman Charitable Trust, the Pears Foundation, and other donors supports Holocaust education and the Holocaust Explained website.
‘European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) Fund’ receives funding from the European Union for a PanEuropean research approach to Holocaust archives. The phase, EHRI ll, ended in October 2019. EHRI-III Fund deepens integration of the archives and research involved in the overall EHRI project. The EHRI-PP Fund, received from the European Union, finances a preparatory phase aimed at bringing EHRI to the level of financial, legal, and technical maturity required for implementation as a permanent European research infrastructure. The project length of 3 years started in December 2019.
‘Arts Council Designation Development Fund’ enhances access to the Jewish refugee family papers, including redevelopment of the online resource ‘Refugee Family Papers: An Interactive Map.’
‘Beyond Camps Fund’ received from Birkbeck, University of London, runs the Beyond Camps conference and website until 2021. ‘Wolverhampton (University) Toni Schiff Beyond Camps Fund’ contributes to the Beyond Camps conference and website. ‘Fraenkel Prize Fund’ is a legacy from the Estate of Ernst Fraenkel.
Other Education & Outreach funds include the Ann Hirshfield Australian Jewish History Fund’ and the ‘Wellcome Science & Suffering Fund’, which did not have activity during the year.
‘Hecht Funds’:
The Ernest Hecht Charitable Foundation gave a grant of £1,000,000, to be spent over ten years, to bring about a transformation of the Library’s ability to reach large audiences. Activities broadly divide into seven categories. Primary is the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (HRGP) which aims to be the UK’s foremost research body into the history of the Holocaust and Genocide. Research activities include Senior Fellowships. Exhibitions connect to the Wiener Holocaust Library North and increase impact across the country. Events, workshops, seminars, and conferences foster academic and non-academic audiences. Publications and Digital Resources drive growth in usage of the library and enhance the integrity of the written record. Collection Development is for acquisitions, initially focusing on photos. Network Building goes towards a sustainable international network of specialists.
