SUMMARY:Virtual HGRP Panel: Outside the Gates of Auschwitz
DESCRIPTION:Since it opened in 1947\, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s mission to educate the public has focused mainly upon site-based learning\, encouraging visitors to witness and reflect in the former camp space. Over the last few years\, however\, efforts have been made to bring the history and memory of the former camp to as wide an audience as possible\, particularly in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. What are the benefits and challenges of bringing the history of Auschwitz outside its gates? What impact may this have on education and commemoration? And how might the ever-increasing reliance on digital technologies change visitors’ relationship with the physical site in years to come? \nAbout the Panel \nDr Imogen Dalziel is part-time Programme Co-ordinator for the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership\, and also works as a freelance Holocaust researcher and educator. Her doctorate\, obtained from Royal Holloway\, University of London in late 2020\, explored the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’s adaptation to the digital museum. Imogen’s broader research interests include the history of the Auschwitz Museum; Holocaust tourism; and Holocaust memory in the digital age. \nPaul Salmons is Director of Paul Salmons Associates\, creating museum exhibitions and educational projects that explore difficult\, challenging histories. He is consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; Chief Curator of Seeing Auschwitz (produced for UNESCO and the United Nations); and Curator of Musealia’s award-winning Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. He is consulting on two major new permanent exhibitions that will open in New York City and St Louis\, Missouri. Paul helped create the Holocaust Exhibition at the Imperial War Museum; co-founded the Centre for Holocaust Education at University College London; and played a leading role in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. \nPaweł Sawicki is Press and PR Officer at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum\, where he has worked since 2007. He is responsible for the Museum’s social media and his work also encompasses conducting guided tours; English-Polish translation; and photography\, the latter most notably featured in the 2012 Museum publication Auschwitz-Birkenau: The Place Where You Are Standing. Before joining the Auschwitz Museum\, Paweł worked as a presenter and journalist for Polish Radio 2\, often covering events connected with the history of the Holocaust and World War II. \nClementine Smith is Director of Programmes and Deputy Managing Director at the Holocaust Educational Trust\, where she has worked for over 10 years. During her time at the Trust\, Clementine has led the Trust’s Ambassador Programme (including the launch of the Regional Ambassador Programme in 2013)\, and now oversees the strategic development and delivery of the Trust’s core programmes. In 2020\, Clementine played an integral part in the team’s pivot towards online delivery for the Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project; Outreach Programme; Teacher Training offer; and youth engagement work. \nPlease note: This event will take place on Zoom and the relevant details will be sent via email on the morning of the event. Please ensure email addresses ending in ‘@wienerholocaustlibrary.org’ are added to your safe senders list.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: The Reorientation of the Buchenwald Memorial Site\, 1989-1999
DESCRIPTION:A sign on the memorial site revealing the “double past” of Buchenwald. Courtesy Buchenwald Memorial. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s PhD and a Cup of Tea doctoral seminar series. \nThe German reunification not only caused tremendous social and economic changes but also reshaped the memorial landscape in (East) Germany. Memorial sites like Buchenwald which were instrumentalized under the GDR as showplaces for antifascism had to be redesigned (“reoriented”) after the fall of the Berlin Wall in order to break away from their controversial communist past. This process triggered off\, especially in Buchenwald\, a highly publicized controversy that lasted for ten years. This presentation gives an overview of the reorientation of Buchenwald by naming its main actors and events\, identifying the main bones of contention and by analysing the way the interactions between the actors reshaped the memorial space. \nAbout the speaker: \nMaëlle Lepitre is a PhD candidate in History at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena (Germany). Her research explores the effect of the German reunification on memory culture\, and more specifically on Buchenwald. She will publish an article about memorial sites in East Germany after 1989 in the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cultural Heritage and Conflict (forthcoming\, 2022). \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).

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk: ‘Adolf Island’: The Nazi Occupation of Alderney
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host a virtual talk with Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls and Associate Professor Kevin Colls\, authors of ‘Adolf Island’: The Nazi Occupation of Alderney as part of our new academic books event series. \n‘Adolf Island’ offers new forensic\, archaeological and spatial perspectives on the Nazi forced and slave labour programme that was initiated on the Channel Island of Alderney during its occupation in the Second World War. Drawing on extensive archival research and the results of the first in-field investigations of the ‘crime scenes’ since 1945\, the book identifies and characterises the network of concentration and labour camps\, fortifications\, burial sites and other material traces connected to the occupation\, providing new insights into the identities and experiences of the men and women who lived\, worked and died within this landscape. The book is the culmination of ten years’ research carried out by Staffordshire University forensic archaeologists Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls and Associate Professor Kevin Colls. Their investigations on the island have also been the subject of a TV documentary that was screened on the Smithsonian Channel in 2019. Moving beyond previous studies focused on military aspects of the occupation\, the book argues that Alderney was intrinsically linked to wider systems of Nazi forced and slave labour. \nAbout the Speakers: \nCaroline Sturdy Colls is an Professor of Conflict Archaeology and Genocide Investigation at Staffordshire University specialising in Holocaust studies. She is also the Research Lead and founder of the Centre of Archaeology at the same institution. Her research focuses on the application of interdisciplinary approaches to the investigation of Holocaust landscapes\, with a particular focus on forensic and archaeological techniques\, and the ethical issues that surround their implementation. She has undertaken archaeological investigations at Treblinka extermination and labour camps in Poland\, the sites pertaining to the slave labour programme in Alderney (the Channel Islands)\, the former Semlin Judenlager and Anhaltlager (Serbia)\, Bergen-Belsen (Germany)\, and numerous killing sites in Poland and Ukraine. \nKevin Colls is an Associate Professor of Archaeology and is the lead Archaeological Project Manager for the Centre of Archaeology at Staffordshire University. He has directed and published archaeological projects throughout Europe and has over 20 years of experience in professional development-led archaeology. Kevin has directed several fieldwork projects at Holocaust sites\, most recently in Ukraine. \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). \n3.
