SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Contested Spaces: The National Holocaust Monument in Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:A photograph of Weesperstraat 31-29\, Amsterdam in 1932. Weesperstraat is the location of the soon-to-be-unveiled National Holocaust Monument featuring the names of 102\,000 Jews murdered during the Holocaust. Of that number\, 175 Jews in the Weesperplantsoen neighbourhood did not return. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nThis presentation examines the Netherlands Auschwitz Committee’s fifteen-year-long battle to bring the country’s first national Holocaust monument to Amsterdam. Protests over location\, design\, funding and its environmental impact led to lawsuits and delayed construction for years. Despite this\, the monument\, designed by Daniel Libeskind\, is set to be unveiled on 19 September 2021. Drawing on interviews\, newspaper articles\, and city archives\, this talk delves into the complexity of the debate and demonstrates how responses to the monument are emblematic of Dutch attitudes towards Holocaust commemoration. \nAbout the speaker: \nJazmine Contreras is an Assistant Professor of European History at Goucher College in Baltimore\, Maryland. She completed her doctorate in European History at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities in summer 2020. Her dissertation\, “‘We were all in the resistance’: Historical Memory of the Holocaust and Second World War\,” examines contested cultural memories of the Second World War and the Holocaust through an analysis of the monuments\, museums\, educational programs\, and commemoration ceremonies that shape memorial culture in the Netherlands. \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: 'A Man who Did Everything Twice’: Jewish Refugee Industrialists in Britain’s Special Areas\, 1936-1940
DESCRIPTION:Friedlander family in front of their Glasgow factory\, probably in the 1940s. Scottish Jewish Archives Centre\, Friedlander Files. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nThis paper will explore the Jewish refugee industrialists who settled in Britain’s ‘Special Areas’ as part of the effort to revitalize the regions hit hardest by the Great Depression. While the national legislation provided the framework for refugee industrialist migration\, it was the efforts of local British people to seek out and assist refugees that made this migration and the Special Areas projects successful. Despite the setbacks and challenges of WWII\, together refugee industrialists and local British people in the Special Areas helped rebuild and integrate their respective communities. \nAbout the speaker: \nTiffany Beebe is a doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her dissertation “Rebuilding Communities: Refugee Industrialists in the ‘Special Areas’ of Britain\, 1934-1945\,” explores the economic\, social\, and cultural impact of Continental Jewish refugees on Britain’s so-called ‘Special Areas\,” the efforts to recover from the Great Depression\, and their experiences acculturating to life in Britain during the Second World War. Beebe’s other research interests include immigration and migration throughout the British Empire\, Jewish studies\, gender/sexuality\, and decolonization. \nEvent guidelines: \n1.
