SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk: Modern Times: The Biography of Hungarian-Jewish Family
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Library’s Excavation-Confrontation-Repair? Family Histories of the Holocaust events series. \n \nThe Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host a virtual book talk with Prof Stephen Pogany\, led in conversation Dr Gábor Kádár. \nBeginning with the final decades of the doomed Austro-Hungarian Empire\, Prof Stephen Pogany explores the lives of his mother’s family in Budapest and in the spa town of Balatonfüred. Drawing on a wide range of historical and literary sources\, as well as extended interviews with family members and Holocaust survivors\, Modern Times examines the reality of Hungarian-Jewish life in the first half of the twentieth century. In contrast to the familiar tropes that portray Jews as wealthy and privileged\, many of Hungary’s Jews\, like most of the ones we encounter in this memoir\, toiled at menial jobs for low pay while facing growing prejudice and discrimination in the years leading up to the Holocaust. \nAbout the speakers:\nProf Stephen Pogany is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Warwick\, where he specialised in international and comparative human rights law. He has written extensively on antisemitism and anti-Gypsyism in East Central Europe\, particularly in Hungary. In October 2021\, his family memoir\, Modern Times: The Biography of a Hungarian-Jewish Family was published in the UK. \nDr Gábor Kádár is a recurrent visiting professor of the Jewish Studies Program at Central European University. He is former Senior Historian of the Hungarian Jewish Archives\, Budapest. He is the author and co-author of six monographs and numerous studies\, articles and encyclopedia entries regarding various aspects of the Holocaust\, the history of Jews in Hungary as well as the history of genocide and ethnic violence in Central Europe. He is the Director of the Yerusha Project\, a digital humanities initiative by the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe as well as a member of the Digital Forum Advisory Board of the European Association of Jewish Studies. \n  \nEvent guidelines:\n1.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Event: Come to this Court and Cry: Linda Kinstler in Conversation with William Shawcross
DESCRIPTION:A few years ago Linda Kinstler discovered that a man fifty years dead – a former Nazi who belonged to the same killing unit as her grandfather – was the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation in Latvia. The proceedings threatened to pardon his crimes. They put on the line hard-won facts about the Holocaust at the precise moment that the last living survivors – the last legal witnesses – were dying. \nAcross the world\, Second World War-era cases are winding their way through the courts. Survivors have been telling their stories for the better part of a century\, and still judges ask for proof. Where do these stories end? What responsibilities attend their transmission\, so many generations on? How many ghosts need to be put on trial for us to consider the crime scene of history closed? \nIn this major non-fiction debut\, Linda Kinstler investigates both her family story and the archives of ten nations to examine what it takes to prove history in our uncertain century. Probing and profound\, Come to this Court and Cry is about the nature of memory and justice when revisionism\, ultra-nationalism and denialism make it feel like history is slipping out from under our feet. It asks how the stories we tell about ourselves\, our families and our nations are passed down\, how we alter them\, and what they demand of us. \nMs Kinstler will be led in conversation by William Shawcross. \nAbout the speakers:\nLinda Kinstler is a contributing writer for The Economist’s 1843 Magazine and a Ph.D candidate in the Rhetoric Department at U.C. Berkeley. Her writing appears in The New York Times\, Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, Wired\, and more. She was previously a Marshall Scholar in the UK\, where she covered British politics for The Atlantic and studied Forensic Architecture. She has been a contributing writer at Politico Europe\, which she helped launch in Brussels in spring 2015. Before that\, she was the managing editor of The New Republic\, where she covered the war in Ukraine. \nWilliam Shawcross was appointed Independent Reviewer of Prevent in January 2021. He was the Chair of the Charity Commission between 2012 and 2018 and became the Special Representative on UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism in March 2019. His previous roles have included membership of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Informal Advisory Panel between 1995 and 2000\, and as a member of the Council of the Disasters Emergency Committee\, 1997 to 2002. He served on the board of International Crisis Group between 1995 and 2006. Prior to 2012\, William was an independent writer and commentator\, having worked as a Foreign Correspondent and written extensively on international affairs. His book\, The Quality of Mercy: Cambodia\, Holocaust and Modern Conscience\, examined the role of aid agencies in disaster relief. He has also written on the work of the United Nations in 1990s conflict zones in Deliver Us From Evil: Peacekeepers\, Warlords\, and a World of Endless Conflict. His other works include Justice and the Enemy: Nuremberg\, 9/11\, and the Trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n1.
