SUMMARY:Book Talk: From Discrimination to Death: Genocide Process through a Human Rights Lens
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted with Loughborough University London’s Institute for Media and Creative Industries and the Royal Holloway Holocaust Research Institute\, as part of the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (HGRP).\nFrom Discrimination to Death studies the process of genocide through the human rights violations that occur during genocide. Using individual testimonies and in-depth multi-country field research from the Armenian Genocide\, Holocaust and Cambodian Genocide\, this book demonstrates that a pattern of specific escalating human rights abuses takes place in genocide. Offering an analysis of all these particular human rights as they are violated in genocide\, the author intricately brings together genocide studies and human rights\, demonstrating how the ‘crime of crimes’ and the human rights law regime correlate. Dr O’Brien then applies the pattern of rights violations to the Rohingya Genocide\, revealing that this pattern could have been used to prevent the violence against the Rohingya\, before advocating for a greater role for human rights oversight bodies in genocide prevention. \nThe pattern ascertained through the research in this book offers a resource for governments and human rights practitioners as a mid-stream indicator for genocide prevention. It can also be used by lawyers and judges in genocide trials to help determine whether genocide took place. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr Melanie O’Brien is Associate Professor of International Law at the University of Western Australia\, and President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS). Her work on forced marriage has been cited by the International Criminal Court\, she has appeared before the ICC as an amicus curia and been an expert consultant for several UN bodies. She recently received a 10-year service medal for volunteering with the Australian Red Cross in the International Humanitarian Law Committee\, and was awarded the Filon Ktenidis Award by the Pontian Society of Sydney for her work on justice and recognition for victims of genocide. \nDr O’Brien has conducted research across six continents and was a 2022 Research Fellow at the Sydney Jewish Museum. She is a 2023 Visiting Fellow at the University of Loughborough and a 2023-34 Visiting Professor at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, University of Minnesota. Dr O’Brien the author of Criminalising Peacekeepers: Modernising National Approaches to Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and From Discrimination to Death: Genocide Process through a Human Rights Lens. She tweets @DrMelOB. \nChaired by: \nDr Rebecca Jinks a historian of comparative genocide and humanitarianism. She is the author of Representing Genocide: The Holocaust as Paradigm?\, which examines the ways in which representations of the Holocaust have influenced how other genocides are understood and represented\, focusing on the ‘canonical’ cases of genocide – Armenia\, Cambodia\, Bosnia\, and Rwanda.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Przemysłowa Concentration Camp for Children – Katarzyna Person\, Johannes-Dieter Steinert
DESCRIPTION:As part of our new academic books event series\, The Wiener Holocaust Library is pleased to host the authors of Przemysłowa Concentration Camp: The Camp\, the Children\, the Trial\, Dr Katarzyna Person and Prof Johannes-Dieter Steinert. Participants can register to attend in person or online. \nThis book explores one of the most notorious aspects of the German system of oppression in wartime Poland: the only purpose-built camp for children under the age of 16 years in German-occupied Europe. The camp at Przemysłowa street\, or the Polen-Jugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt as the Germans called it\, was a concentration camp for children. The camp at Przemysłowa existed for just over two years\, from December 1942 until January 1945. During that time\, an unknown number of children\, mainly Polish nationals\, were imprisoned there and subjected to extreme physical and emotional abuse. For almost all\, the consequences of atrocities which they endured in the camp remained with them for the rest of their lives. This book focuses on the establishment of the camp\, the experience of the child prisoners\, and the post-war investigations and trials. It is based on contemporary German documents\, post-war Polish trials and German investigations\, as well as dozens of testimonies from camp survivors\, guards\, civilian camp staff and the camp leadership. \nAbout the Speakers:\nKatarzyna Person is a historian of the Holocaust working at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw\, Poland. \nJohannes-Dieter Steinert is Professor of Modern European History and Migration Studies at the University of Wolverhampton\, UK. \n  \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
