SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Jews\, Christians\, and the Holocaust in a Christian Army Chaplain’s Account of the Liberation of Bergen-Belsen
DESCRIPTION:An eyewitness account of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen by Reverend David Stewart. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nThe Crime of Belsen is a 58-page pamphlet in the collection of The Wiener Holocaust Library. It was written and published in Germany in July 1945 by the Reverend David Stewart\, a British army chaplain. A close reading of Reverend Stewart’s report reveals a unique account of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen and the post-liberation care of Holocaust survivors. By sharing Stewart’s writing and photographs\, this talk will explore how Stewart understood what he witnessed at Belsen\, including his recording of survivor testimony. It is a revealing example of how one Christian encountered Jews in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust and how he first began to respond to its implications. \nAbout the speaker: \nRobert Thompson is a PhD student in the Hebrew and Jewish Studies Department at University College London. His research\, Liberators\, Occupiers\, Pastors: Christian Encounters with Holocaust Survivors in Germany\, 1945-1950\, is funded by a Wolfson Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship in the Humanities. Rob’s MA thesis was awarded Proxime Accessit by the Royal Historical Society for their 2020 Rees Davis Prize. \nEvent guidelines: \n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders. \n2. Please 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).

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Overt-covert recounting: deconstructing women’s personal memory narratives of sexual violence during the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nEyewitness account by Janka Galambos entitled ‘Forced Women Labourer for the Argus Aeroplane Works in Berlin-Reinickendorf’. Testifying to the Truth\, Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nDrawing on survivor interviews housed in the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive\, this presentation will highlight a range of ways in which Jewish women recount their first-hand memories of sexual(ised) violence during the Holocaust within a public Holocaust ‘testimony’ sharing context. In particular\, the talk will explore the vocabulary employed by the women so as to communicate their story of assault to an interviewer (and implied audience) and consider how an ‘overt-covert’ narrative may be conceptualised as a form of protective ‘sideways’ storytelling. How do women encode stories of sexual assault in the act of recounting them? What thematic vehicles emerge when ‘speaking private memory to public power’ (Theresa de Langis\, 2018)? How may a researcher de-code them? \nPlease note this talk will contain graphic descriptions of sexual assault. \nAbout the speaker: \nLauren Cantillon is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Culture\, Media & Creative Industries at King’s College London. Her research explores the ways in which Jewish women recount personal memory narratives of sexual(ised) violence during the Holocaust. She is the 2020/21 Katz Research Fellowship in Genocide Studies at the USC Shoah Foundation Centre for Advanced Genocide Research and a volunteer for the Wiener Holocaust Library. Her work on emotional regimes of memory and cultural production will feature in Covid-19\, the Second World War and the Idea of Britishness (forthcoming\, 2021). \nEvent guidelines: \n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders. \n2. Please 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).
