SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Petitions to Slovak President Josef Tiso about the “Jewish Question”
DESCRIPTION:Support letter from a Lutheran priest to Jozef Tiso on behalf of a young convert applying for an exemption from antisemitic legislation \nBetween 1939 and 1944\, thousands of Jews and non-Jews petitioned Josef Tiso\, President of the Slovak State\, about the “Jewish question”. \nThe authors of this correspondence came from all over the nation and all walks of life\, including priests. As authority figures\, thought leaders\, and pillars of society\, priests represent an interesting social category. For this reason\, it makes sense to look at their correspondence with Jozef Tiso\, who was himself a Roman Catholic priest. \nWhy did priests write to Tiso? What did they ask for in their letters to him? What conclusions can we draw from the correspondence? This presentation will quote extensively from the letters themselves as well as pose questions about the analysis of this material for Vadkerty’s dissertation. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMadeline Vadkerty is a Samuel P. Mandell Fellow at Gratz College (Philadelphia\, USA) in its Holocaust and Genocide studies doctoral program.  Originally from the US\, she lives in Bratislava\, Slovakia\, where she conducts Holocaust-related research at the Slovak National Archive. Madeline is a former employee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, DC. Her dissertation topic is “Petitions to Slovak President Jozef Tiso about the “Jewish Question” (1939 – 1944): A Systematic Analysis of how Entreaties Contextualize the Holocaust in Slovakia.” \nEvent guidelines:\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).\nAfter the formal presentation\, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss\, either in the chat or by raising your hand.\nBecause the seminar presents works in progress\, this event will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Franziska Lamp\, Controlling Female Bodies: Resettlement Procedures in Refugee Camps in Postwar Austria
DESCRIPTION:Wohnbarackenlager bei Salzburg: Frau mit Kleinkindern im Wohnraum (English: Housing barracks camp near Salzburg: woman with small children in the living quarters)\, June 1954\, ÖNB/Wien US 12.144/2. \nAfter the end of the Second World War\, hundreds of thousands of so-called Displaced Persons (DPs) lived in newly created refugee camps in Austria\, facing an uncertain future. Some of them stayed there for weeks\, others remained stranded for years. The International Refugee Organization (IRO) was responsible for the resettlement of those refugees that could not or would not return “home”. However\, with their emigration plans they encountered many obstacles\, like being pregnant or having young children to look after. \nThe importance of physical as well as psychological resilience cannot be underestimated for the resettlement process in the postwar world. Pregnant women as well as young mothers were particularly affected by this. For research on the responses to displacement in postwar Austria\, the following questions are therefore key: What role did pregnancy play in the emigration of Displaced Persons from Austria? How were pregnant women and young mothers depicted in the sources on the IRO? What special policies and care facilities existed in Austria regarding their care and emigration? \nFranziska Lamp is currently working as a project researcher at the Department of Contemporary History of the University of Vienna (Austria) and is doing her PhD as part of a larger project on the negotiation of migration regimes in post-war Austria and beyond. In her PhD project she focuses on gender-historical perspectives on the emigration of refugee women from post-war Austria. Her previous publications include the blog posts “…ob er mit seiner Eheschließung der Volksgemeinschaft nützt” and “The ‘unmarried mother’: single-mother families in displaced persons camps in post-World War II Austria.” Before that she has studied Comparative Literature and History at the University of Vienna and St Andrews University (Scotland\, UK) and completed her Master in History at the University of Vienna with a thesis on the topic of “Matchmaking as an Instrument of National Socialist Population Policy.” \nFranziska Maria Lamp\, franziska.lamp@univie.ac.at\nWebsite \nTwitter \nEvent guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
