SUMMARY:Virtual Exhibition Talk: Holding on Through Letters with Debórah Dwork
DESCRIPTION:Elisabeth Luz Letters\, Courtesy Debórah Dwork \nThis event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series. \nJewish families in Nazi Europe tried to hold onto each other through letters. But wartime conditions applied. Letters were censored and could not be sent between countries at war with each other. How to keep in contact? And\, once contact was established\, what to say — and about what to remain silent? In her presentation\, Prof Debórah Dwork will trace how letters became threads stitching loved ones into each other’s constantly changing daily lives. \nAbout the Speaker\nDebórah Dwork is the Director of the Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity at The Graduate Center–City University of New York. She is renowned for her scholarship on Holocaust history and her pathbreaking early oral recording of Holocaust survivors\, weaving their narratives into the history she writes. Her award-winning books include: Flight from the Reich (W.W. Norton\, 2012); Auschwitz (W.W. Norton\, 2006); Holocaust (W.W. Norton\, 2002); and Children With A Star (Yale University Press\, 1991). Debórah Dwork is also recipient of the International Network of Genocide Scholars Lifetime Achievement Award (2020) and the Annetje Fels Kupferschmidt Award\, bestowed by the Dutch Auschwitz Committee (2022). \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders.\nPlease try and join 5 minutes before the event start time and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).\nIf you would like to ask a question during the event\, please type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A. Your webcam will not be seen during this event.\nThe event will be recorded for the Library’s YouTube channel and will be shared at a later date.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel: More than Parcels
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Holocaust Letters exhibition events series. \nThe Wiener Holocaust Library\, in partnership with the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London\, is delighted to host this panel of contributors to the recent publication\, More than Parcels: Wartime Aid for Jews in Nazi-era Camps and Ghettos\, who will reflect on the availability and significance of relief packages and other mail to prisoners in this important\, under-researched aspect of Holocaust history. \nEdited by Jan Lánícek and Jan Lambertz\, More than Parcels explores the horrors of the Holocaust by focusing on the systematic starvation of Jewish civilians confined to Nazi ghettos and camps. The modest relief parcel\, often weighing no more than a few pounds and containing food\, medicine\, and clothing\, could extend the lives and health of prisoners. For Jews in occupied Europe\, receiving packages simultaneously provided critical emotional sustenance in the face of despair and grief. Placing these parcels front and center in a history of World War II challenges several myths about Nazi rule and Allied responses. \nFirst\, the traffic in relief parcels and remittances shows that the walls of Nazi detention sites and the wartime borders separating Axis Europe from the outside world were not hermetically sealed\, even for Jewish prisoners. Aid shipments were often damaged or stolen\, but they continued to be sent throughout the war. Second\, the flow of relief parcels—and prisoner requests for them—contributed to information about the lethal nature of Nazi detention sites. Aid requests and parcel receipts became one means of transmitting news about the location\, living conditions\, and fate of Jewish prisoners to families\, humanitarians\, and Jewish advocacy groups scattered across the globe. Third\, the contributors to More than Parcels reveal that tens of thousands of individuals\, along with religious communities and philanthropies\, mobilized parcel relief for Jews trapped in Europe. \n  \nSpeakers: \nJan Lambertz\, applied researcher and historian at the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum \nJan Láníček\, Associate Professor of modern European and Jewish history at the University of New South Wales in Sydney \nPontus Rudberg\, historian and researcher in modern European and Jewish history at the Hugo Valentin Centre\, Uppsala University \nKatarzyna Person\, Associate Professor at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw and editor of the complete edition of the Ringelblum Archive \n  \nModerated by: \nDan Stone\, Professor of Modern History and Director of the Holocaust Research \nInstitute at Royal Holloway-University of London \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders.\nPlease try and join 5 minutes before the event start time and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).\nIf you would like to ask a question during the event\, please type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A. Your webcam will not be seen during this event.\nThe event will be recorded for the Library’s YouTube channel and will be shared at a later date.\n\nHolocaust Letters is curated by Christine Schmidt and Sandra Lipner\, with advisory by Dan Stone\, for the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership (HGRP)\, an initiative of The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London. \nThis exhibition has been generously supported by the Ernst Hecht Charitable Foundation\, the Stuart Rossiter Trust\, the Holocaust Research Institute\, Techne\, and Friends and supporters of the Library.

SUMMARY:Public Afternoon Lecture: Erin McGlothlin and Arriving at Auschwitz with Elie Wiesel
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute\, Royal Holloway University of London\, through its Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership\, are delighted to jointly host this programme. \nIn her discussion of Elie Wiesel’s seminal text Night\, Erin McGlothlin will explore a binaristic tension inherent to the contemporary cultural imagination of the Holocaust\, which conceives of the experience of the concentration camp and killing center Auschwitz along both historical and mythical lines.  As she will argue\, the text’s depiction of the young Eliezer’s arrival at Auschwitz and his proximate encounter with mass death\, one of the most powerful scenes in the canon of Holocaust literature\, signals the transformation of the narrator’s historical account into a mythical narrative. \nErin McGlothlin is Professor of German and Jewish Studies and Vice Dean of Undergraduate Affairs at Washington University in St. Louis.  Her research and teaching interests are in the areas of fictional and non-fictional works of Holocaust literature and film\, including such topics as the generational discourse on the Holocaust\, the narrative structure of Holocaust literature and film\, perpetrator representation and perpetrator trauma\, and ethical questions related to Holocaust representation.  She is the author of Second-Generation Holocaust Literature: Legacies of Survival and Perpetration (2006) and The Mind of the Holocaust Perpetrator in Fiction and Nonfiction (2021). Further\, she has co-edited four volumes: After the Digital Divide?: German Aesthetic Theory in the Age of New Digital Media (2009\, with Lutz Koepnick)\, Persistent Legacy: The Holocaust and German Studies (2016\, with Jennifer Kapczynski)\, The Construction of Testimony: Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah and its Outtakes (2020\, with Brad Prager and Markus Zisselsberger)\, and Lessons and Legacies of the Holocaust 15: The Holocaust: Global Perspectives and National Narratives (2023\, with Avinoam Patt). \nMcGlothlin is co-editor (with Brad Prager) of the Camden House book series Dialogue and Disjunction: Studies in Jewish German Literature\, Culture\, and Thought\, and she serves on the editorial boards of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Nexus: Essays in German Jewish Studies.  Together with Principal Investigator Stuart Taberner (University of Leeds)\, she serves as Co-Investigator for the project “Rethinking Holocaust Literature: Contexts\, Canons\, Circulations\,” which is funded by a $1.3 million grant from the United Kingdom Arts and Humanities Research Council. As part of this project\, McGlothlin and Taberner have been appointed co-editors of The Cambridge History of Holocaust Literature\, which will include contributions by over forty international experts in Holocaust representation and which aims to set the path of the scholarly discourse on the literature of the Holocaust for the next twenty-five years. \nChair: Professor Robert Eaglestone\, Holocaust Research Institute
