SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk: Nick Underwood in conversation with Sonia Gollance
DESCRIPTION:As part of our new academic books event series\, The Wiener Holocaust Library is pleased to host Nick Underwood who will speak about his new book\, Yiddish Paris: Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France. Participants can register to attend in person or online. \nYiddish Paris explores how Yiddish-speaking emigrants from Eastern Europe in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s created a Yiddish diaspora nation in Western Europe and how they presented that nation to themselves and to others in France. In this meticulously researched and first full-length study of interwar Yiddish culture in France\, author Nick Underwood argues that the emergence of a Yiddish Paris was depended on “culture makers\,” mostly left-wing Jews from Socialist and Communist backgrounds who created cultural and scholarly organizations and institutions\, including the French branch of YIVO (a research institution focused on East European Jews)\, theatre troupes\, choruses\, and a pavilion at the Paris World’s Fair of 1937. \nYiddish Paris examines how these left-wing Yiddish-speaking Jews insisted that even in France\, a country known for demanding the assimilation of immigrant and minority groups\, they could remain a distinct group\, part of a transnational Yiddish-speaking Jewish nation. Yet\, in the process\, they in fact created a French-inflected version of Jewish diaspora nationalism\, finding allies among French intellectuals\, largely on the left. \nAbout the Speaker\nNick Underwood is an assistant professor in the Department of History and Berger-Neilsen Chair of Judaic Studies at The College of Idaho. His work has appeared in a number of journals\, and his book Yiddish Paris: Staging Nation and Community in Interwar France was a finalist for the 2022 National Jewish Book Award. He is also the project manager for the Digital Yiddish Theatre Project. \nSonia Gollance is Lecturer in Yiddish at UCL. She is a scholar of Yiddish Studies and German-Jewish literature whose work focuses on dance\, theatre\, and gender. Her first book\, It Could Lead to Dancing: Mixed-Sex Dancing and Jewish Modernity\, was published by Stanford University Press in 2021. Previously she taught at the University of Vienna\, The Ohio State University\, and the University of Göttingen (Germany). She received her PhD in Germanic Languages and Literatures from the University of Pennsylvania and her BA in Comparative Literature and Germanic Studies from the University of Chicago. \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize Winner - Ari Joskowicz\, Rain of Ash
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host an evening lecture by the winner of our 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize. The jury has awarded Ari Joskowicz’s book\, Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust the prize. The judges found it to be “a compelling and important book which deserves to be widely read. It is both beautifully written and sensitively handled. A truly field defining work!” \nJews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust\, yet the world did not recognize their destruction equally. In the years and decades following the war\, the Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts\, scholars\, educators\, curators\, and politicians\, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma went largely ignored. Rain of Ash is the untold story of how Roma turned to Jewish institutions\, funding sources\, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition and compensation for their wartime suffering. \nAri Joskowicz vividly describes the experiences of Hitler’s forgotten victims and charts the evolving postwar relationship between Roma and Jews over the course of nearly a century. During the Nazi era\, Jews and Roma shared little in common besides their simultaneous persecution. Yet the decades of entwined struggles for recognition have deepened Romani-Jewish relations\, which now center not only on commemorations of past genocides but also on contemporary debates about antiracism and Zionism. \nUnforgettably moving and sweeping in scope\, Rain of Ash is a revelatory account of the unequal yet necessary entanglement of Jewish and Romani quests for historical justice and self-representation that challenges us to radically rethink the way we remember the Holocaust. \nFurther information about Prof Joskowicz’s book can be found here. \nAbout the Speakers\nAri Joskowicz is associate professor of Jewish studies\, history\, and European studies at Vanderbilt University and the author of The Modernity of Others: Jewish Anti-Catholicism in Germany and France. \nTímea Junghaus is an art historian and contemporary art curator. She started in the position of Executive Director of the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture in September 2017. Previously\, Junghaus was Research Fellow of the Working Group for Critical Theories at the Institute for Art History at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2010-2017). She has researched and published extensively on the conjunctions of modern and contemporary art with critical theory\, with particular reference to issues of cultural difference\, colonialism\, and minority representation. She is completing her Ph.D. studies in Cultural Theory at the Eötvös Loránd University\, Budapest. \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
