SUMMARY:Virtual HGRP Panel: Outside the Gates of Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:Since it opened in 1947\, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s mission to educate the public has focused mainly upon site-based learning\, encouraging visitors to witness and reflect in the former camp space. Over the last few years\, however\, efforts have been made to bring the history and memory of the former camp to as wide an audience as possible\, particularly in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. What are the benefits and challenges of bringing the history of Auschwitz outside its gates? What impact may this have on education and commemoration? And how might the ever-increasing reliance on digital technologies change visitors’ relationship with the physical site in years to come? \nAbout the Panel \nDr Imogen Dalziel is part-time Programme Co-ordinator for the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership\, and also works as a freelance Holocaust researcher and educator. Her doctorate\, obtained from Royal Holloway\, University of London in late 2020\, explored the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s adaptation to the digital museum. Imogen’s broader research interests include the history of the Auschwitz Museum; Holocaust tourism; and Holocaust memory in the digital age. \nPaul Salmons is Director of Paul Salmons Associates\, creating museum exhibitions and educational projects that explore difficult\, challenging histories. He is consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; Chief Curator of Seeing Auschwitz (produced for UNESCO and the United Nations); and Curator of Musealia’s award-winning Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. He is consulting on two major new permanent exhibitions that will open in New York City and St Louis\, Missouri. Paul helped create the Holocaust Exhibition at the Imperial War Museum; co-founded the Centre for Holocaust Education at University College London; and played a leading role in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. \nPaweł Sawicki is Press and PR Officer at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum\, where he has worked since 2007. He is responsible for the Museum’s social media and his work also encompasses conducting guided tours; English-Polish translation; and photography\, the latter most notably featured in the 2012 Museum publication Auschwitz-Birkenau: The Place Where You Are Standing. Before joining the Auschwitz Museum\, Paweł worked as a presenter and journalist for Polish Radio 2\, often covering events connected with the history of the Holocaust and World War II. \nClementine Smith is Director of Programmes and Deputy Managing Director at the Holocaust Educational Trust\, where she has worked for over 10 years. During her time at the Trust\, Clementine has led the Trust’s Ambassador Programme (including the launch of the Regional Ambassador Programme in 2013)\, and now oversees the strategic development and delivery of the Trust’s core programmes. In 2020\, Clementine played an integral part in the team’s pivot towards online delivery for the Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project; Outreach Programme; Teacher Training offer; and youth engagement work. \nPlease note: This event will take place on Zoom and the relevant details will be sent via email on the morning of the event.

SUMMARY:Second Annual Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture: Holocaust History Under Siege
DESCRIPTION:Destruction of a housing block in the Warsaw Ghetto during the 1943 uprising. US National Archives and Records Administration. \nFor the second Annual Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture\, Professor Jan Grabowski will discuss how scholars of the Holocaust find themselves confronted with the hostile reactions of various states pursuing the policies of Holocaust distortion. This situation has acquired particular importance and urgency in Poland\, where the authorities have introduced a series of measures intended to freeze academic debate\, hinder independent research and intimidate scholars whose writings are perceived as opposed to the official\, state-approved historical narrative. \nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership between The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute\, Royal Holloway. \nRegistration and tickets:\nWe are live-streaming all our lectures in 2021-22.

SUMMARY:Virtual HGRP Book Talk: Empire of Destruction: A History of Nazi Mass Killing
DESCRIPTION:Nazi Germany killed approximately 13 million civilians and other non-combatants in deliberate policies of mass murder\, mostly during the war years. Almost half the victims were Jewish\, systematically destroyed in the Holocaust\, the core of the Nazis’ pan-European racial purification programme. \n \nAlex Kay argues that the genocide of European Jewry can be examined in the wider context of Nazi mass killing. For the first time\, Empire of Destruction considers Europe’s Jews alongside all the other major victim groups: captive Red Army soldiers\, the Soviet urban population\, unarmed civilian victims of preventive terror and reprisals\, the mentally and physically disabled\, the European Roma and the Polish intelligentsia. Kay shows how each of these groups was regarded by the Nazi regime as a potential threat to Germany’s ability to successfully wage a war for hegemony in Europe. \nCombining the full quantitative scale of the killings with the individual horror\, this is a vital and groundbreaking work. \nAbout the Speakers \nDr Alex Kay is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Potsdam and lifetime Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. His research and teaching focuses on the history of Germany from 1918 to 1945\, National Socialist policies of extermination\, and comparative research on genocide and violence. He has published five acclaimed books on Nazi Germany\, including The Making of an SS Killer. \nProfessor Dan Stone is Professor of Modern History and Director of the Holocaust Research Institute at the Royal Holloway University of London. He is a historian of ideas who works primarily on twentieth-century European history. His research interests include the history and interpretation of the Holocaust\, comparative genocide\, history of anthropology\, history of fascism\, the cultural history of the British Right and theory of history. \nPlease note: This event will take place on Zoom and the relevant details will be sent on the morning of the event.

SUMMARY:Virtual HGRP Talk: Role-Shifting in Atrocity Crimes: The Case of Rwanda
DESCRIPTION:A Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership event.  \nThis lecture explores the potentially problematic delineation between victims/survivors\, bystanders\, and perpetrators of genocide. Drawing on over a decade of oral historical research on the 1994 Rwandan genocide — in which approximately 800\,000 civilians\, most of whom were Tutsi\, were murdered by Hutu Power extremists — Dr Erin Jessee (University of Glasgow) shows how many Rwandans’ experiences were more complex than the victim/survivor\, bystander\, and perpetrator categories permit. She argues instead for considering genocide-affected people as “complex political actors”\, at least as a starting point for engagement. Doing so facilitates understanding of the extensive role-shifting that can occur amid mass atrocities as people negotiate survival\, and may more effectively support initiatives aimed at promoting social repair by correcting the sometimes harmful overly-simplistic narratives that arise about genocide-affected people from all sides of the conflict. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr Erin Jessee is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Glasgow\, where she uses oral historical and ethnographic methods to engage with people’s diverse experiences of genocide and related mass atrocities\, particularly in Rwanda. She is the author of Negotiating Genocide in Rwanda: The Politics of History\, co-editor of Researching Perpetrators of Genocide\, and has published articles with Medical History\, Memory Studies\, Oral History Review\, History in Africa\, and Forensic Science International\, among others. \nPlease note: This event will take place on Zoom and the relevant details will be sent the day before the event.
