SUMMARY:Exhibition Launch: Death Marches: Evidence and Memory
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we launch our first\, co-located exhibition Death Marches: Evidence and Memory.\n \nTowards the end of the Second World War\, hundreds of thousands of prisoners still held within the Nazi camp system were forcibly evacuated in terrible conditions under heavy guard. Prisoners were sent out on foot\, by rail\, in horse-drawn wagons\, in lorries and by ship. Thousands of people were murdered en route in the last days before the war’s end. Many of these chaotic and brutal evacuations became known as ‘death marches’ by those who endured them. They form the last chapter of Nazi genocide. \nThe Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership is pleased to launch its inaugural exhibition\, co-curated by Dan Stone (RHUL) and Christine Schmidt (WHL)\, and on display in 2021 at The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Exhibition & Learning Centre at the University of Huddersfield. \nThe exhibition uncovers how forensic and other evidence about the death marches has been gathered since the end of the Holocaust. It chronicles how researchers and others attempted to recover the death march routes – and those who did not survive them. Efforts to analyse and commemorate the death marches continue to this day. \nThe launch event included a gallery walk-through\, short talks by the co-curators and other guest speakers. \nWatch back now:

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Virtual Teacher Workshop: Using Photographs in Teaching about the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Using sources from The Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique archive of material on the Nazi era and the Holocaust\, this virtual workshop will critically consider the use of photographs in Holocaust education. \nWehrmacht soldiers film the massacre of Jews in the Lvov Pogroms of July 1941\, carried out by the Einsatzgruppe C and the Ukrainian National Militia. \nThe workshop will use a range of contemporary images taken before\, during and after the Holocaust to explore how these historical sources can be used effectively in the classroom. We will also examine the ethics of using photographs of victims; the motivations of the photographers; the context within which photographs were produced\, and issues around editing and format of images. We will help participants to reflect upon the ways in which photographs can be used to deepen school students’ understanding of the Holocaust without compromising the humanity of the victims. \nThe workshop is aimed at British secondary school teachers and educators\, and will be led by Dr Barbara Warnock\, the Library’s Head of Education and Senior Curator\, Roxzann Baker\, who coordinates the Library’s online educational resource The Holocaust Explained\, and Elise Bath\, one of the Library’s Senior International Tracing Service Archive Researchers. \nEvent guidelines\n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email before the event. Please do check your junk folders. \n2. Please try and join 5 minutes before the event start time (17.55) and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Launch: The Afterdeath of the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence Langer in conversation with Ben Barkow. \nSurvivor accounts from the Library’s digital database\, ‘Testifying to the Truth’. \nThe Wiener Holocaust Library was delighted to launch Professor Lawrence Langer’s most recent book\, The Afterdeath of the Holocaust. This book consists of ten essays that examine the ways in which language has been used to evoke what Langer calls the ‘deathscape’ and the ‘hopescape’ of the Holocaust. The chapters in this collection probe the diverse impacts that site visits\, memoirs\, survivor testimonies\, psychological studies\, literature and art have on our response to the atrocities committed by the Germans during the Second World War. Langer also considers the misunderstandings caused by erroneous\, embellished and sentimental accounts of the catastrophe\, and explores some reasons why they continue to enter public and printed discourse with such ease. \nAbout the speakers:\nLawrence L. Langer is Emeritus Professor of English at Simmons University in Boston\, USA and a renowned scholar of Holocaust literature. \nBen Barkow is the Chair of the Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association of Leeds and Chair of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation Academic Advisory Board. He was the Director of The Wiener Holocaust Library from 1998-2019. \nWatch back now:

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Virtual Workshop: Thinking through the Library’s Eyewitness Accounts of Jewish Resistance in Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Survivor accounts from the Library’s digital database. \nIn this workshop\, the Library’s Senior Curator and Head of Education\, Dr Barbara Warnock\, will present recent findings from research conducted into the Library’s eyewitness accounts of Jewish resistance in Belgium\, and explore with workshop participants the significance of the documents both as evidence of anti-Nazi resistance\, and as evidence of the post-war efforts to document the Holocaust. \nThese documents\, gathered as part of a research project launched by the Library’s Head of Research Dr Eva Reichmann in 1954\, are a small but important subsection of the Library’s substantial collection of eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust. With reports from some of the leading figures in Belgian resistance and in child rescue in Belgium\, the documents provide insights into many topics\, including the background and motivations of resisters; the central role of women in resistance; the operation of child rescue networks; the extent of collaboration between Jewish resistance networks and other groups and individuals in Belgium; details of the effects of their experiences on the resisters\, and the dangers that they faced. The reports also reflect the methods and assumptions that governed The Wiener Library’s project to gather documentation from survivors and eyewitnesses of the Nazi era and the Holocaust. \nEvent guidelines \n1. The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email before the event. Please do check your junk folders. \n2. Please try and join 5 minutes before the event start time (12.55) and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).
