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.

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.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Souvenirs of suffering: Taking items from the Auschwitz site
DESCRIPTION:Items taken from the Kanada section of the Auschwitz-Birkenau site by two British teenagers in 2015. Polish Regional Police Command. \nContemporary visitors to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum mark their experience of seeing the former concentration and extermination camp in various ways. Many take photographs; others share their impressions on social media; and some purchase books\, fridge magnets or posters from the Museum shops. In recent years\, however\, a small number of visitors have made the headlines for attempting to take other ‘souvenirs’ – namely\, items and artefacts from the grounds of the former camp itself. \nIn 2015\, for example\, two English schoolboys were arrested\, fined and put on trial for attempting to take home small items they had found lying around in the former Kanada complex. Other items pocketed by visitors include bricks\, pieces of barbed wire and fragments from the Birkenau railway track. What might the average visitor hope to gain from taking ‘souvenirs’ from the Auschwitz site\, and what is the proposed final destination of these items? This talk will examine possible motivations for visitors removing artefacts from the former camp\, such as financial gain\, iconography\, the need for an ‘authentic’ experience and the fulfillment of emotional connections. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr Imogen Dalziel is the part-time Programme Co-ordinator for the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership; part-time Administrator for the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London; and a freelance Holocaust researcher and educator. She obtained her PhD from Royal Holloway in October 2020 with a thesis that explored the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s adaptation to the digital museum. Her first published journal article\, ‘“Romantic Auschwitz”: Examples and Perceptions of Contemporary Visitor Photography at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’\, won Holocaust Studies’ inaugural Best Essay Prize in 2017. Dr Dalziel also received an ‘If Not for Those Ten…’ award for voluntary services to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in 2016. \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.

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: 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.

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.
