In 2016 the Clemens N Nathan PhD Scholarship Programme was established at the University of Sussex in memory of Clemens Nathan, a German-Jewish refugee to Britain, lifelong champion of human rights issues and longstanding AJR member. Thanks to financial backing from the AJR and other funders, the scholarship will enable three students each year to pursue their PhD at the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex, renowned for its archives and academic publications. Scholarships will support ground-breaking research that advances understanding of the complex spectrum of the German-Jewish experience and other topics which align closely with the AJR’s mission and values, including German-Jewish refugees; Jewish relief organisations; history and memory (with special emphasis on the second and third generations); Jewish identity between antisemitism and assimilation; displacement; human rights and Holocaust education.
