SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and A Cup of Tea: Benno Gantner’s Clandestine Death March Images
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nClandestine death march image taken by Benno Gantner in 1945. USHMM. \nThis talk examines the clandestine nature and cartographical significance of a series of death march images taken by Benno Gantner from the window of his home in Percha\, just outside Munich\, as prisoners were marching southeast from Dachau after its liquidation in 1945. Via a reading of clandestine wartime photography as a critical cartographical practice that binds victims to their environments\, this talk brings Gantner’s images into dialogue with emerging scholarship on the spatial organisation of the Holocaust. In so doing\, it examines the unique tension between clandestine photographs as forensic tools with which we can verify the journeys taken by the prisoners they depict on the one hand and emotionally affective visual devices that immortalise the public suffering and humiliation of these subjects on the other. \nAbout the speaker: \nEmily-Rose Baker is a recently submitted PhD student in the School of English at the University of Sheffield. Her thesis is titled ‘Postcommunist Constellations: Decolonial Cultures of Holocaust Memory in Central-Eastern Europe’\, and examines localised literary and artistic interventions into state-sponsored narratives of Holocaust revisionism and appropriation after 1989. \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: "Jewish refugee 'rescue' at the interstices of Philippine independence\, 1938-1941"
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nAn eyewitness account by Sergeant Gerard Kohn\, American Liberation Forces\, of the situation of Jewish refugees in Manila. Testifying to the Truth\, Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nThis presentation gives an overview of the admission of Jewish refugees to the Philippines from 1938 to 1941. It discusses the political responses and introduces the key figures involved in two related Jewish immigration programmes to the archipelago. The first provided visas to pre-selected Jewish refugees based on ‘needed’ professions in the country. The second was the so-called ‘Mindanao Plan’\, which proposed to admit 10\,000 refugees to the southern island of Mindanao as agricultural settlers. These responses took place at the interstices of the Philippines’ independence from the United States. The presentation shows that refugees were part of the process of state-formation\, entangled in the creation of new immigration laws and development interests. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr Ria Sunga has recently finished her PhD in History at the University of Manchester. Her research explores the political responses to refugees in the Philippines in the twentieth century. She focuses on the episodes of Jewish\, Russian\, and Vietnamese refugee admission. \nEvent guidelines: \n1.
