CARA was established in 1933 in response to the persecution of academics across Europe by fascist regimes. It was founded as the 'Academic Assistance Council' by leading figures such as Sir William Beveridge; Lord Rutherford; John Maynard Keynes; A V Hill, Lionel Robbins; and Margery Fry, to help the thousands of Jewish academics dismissed from universities and unable to continue their work.

We utilised the PaperVision 3D Flash engine to generate a dynamic 3D graphic interface.
