SUMMARY:Hybrid Lecture: 2021 Ernst Fraenkel Prize Winner – Franziska Exeler\, Ghosts of War
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library is delighted to host an evening lecture by the winner of our 2021 Ernst Fraenkel Prize. The jury has awarded Franziska Exeler’s book\, Ghosts of War: Nazi Occupation and its Aftermath in Soviet Belarus the prize. \n \nThe judges noted that they “found it to be an ambitious – and successful – deep dive\, exploring questions of wartime compliance\, complicity\, and collaboration and the post-war toll that these exacted. It is strikingly original in exploring issues that many have acknowledged but few have investigated and is a very worthy winner of this prestigious prize.” \nHow do states and societies confront the legacies of war and occupation\, and what do truth\, guilt\, and justice mean in that process? In Ghosts of War\, Franziska Exeler examines people’s wartime choices and their aftermath in Belarus\, a war-ravaged Soviet republic that was under Nazi occupation during the Second World War. After the Red Army reestablished control over Belarus\, one question shaped encounters between the returning Soviet authorities and those who had lived under Nazi rule\, between soldiers and family members\, reevacuees and colleagues\, Holocaust survivors and their neighbors: What did you do during the war? \nGhosts of War analyses the prosecution and punishment of Soviet citizens accused of wartime collaboration with the Nazis and shows how individuals sought justice\, revenge\, or assistance from neighbours and courts. The book uncovers the many absences\, silences\, and conflicts that were never resolved\, as well as the truths that could only be spoken in private\, yet it also investigates the extent to which individuals accommodated\, contested\, and reshaped official Soviet war memory. The result is a gripping examination of how efforts at coming to terms with the past played out within\, and at times through\, a dictatorship. \nAbout the Speaker: \nFranziska Exeler is Assistant Professor of History at Free University Berlin. She is also a Research Fellow at the Centre for History and Economics\, Magdalene College\, University of Cambridge. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\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).\nIf you would like to ask a question during the event\, please type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A. Your webcam will not be seen during this event.\nThe event will be recorded for the Library’s YouTube channel and will be shared at a later date.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Does Holocaust Education Influence Gen Z’s Likelihood to Act Against Hate?
DESCRIPTION:Around the globe\, references to the Holocaust have been used to challenge policy decisions (Bergen 2021)\, to describe animal rights abuses (Szyubel 2006; Sobel 2018)\, and to justify war. \nIt is in part a lack of understanding about the Holocaust that allows this historical mass atrocity to be distorted and leveraged for political purposes such as these. At the same time\, across Canada and in the majority of U.S. states\, genocide education is not yet a curricular requirement\, resulting in students learning about the Holocaust at disproportionate rates and through nontraditional sources\, such as on social media platforms and television shows. \nUsing data from a new pre-/post-treatment survey of ~3600 North American teenagers\, Dr Lerner argues that mandated Holocaust education interventions not only increase factual knowledge and decrease Holocaust denial in general\, but that they also correspond with an increased likelihood that students will take necessary action to protect minority communities when confronted with hatred or intolerance. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Lerner is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the United States Naval Academy. Her research is on the intersection of authoritarianism and dissent\, with a regional focus on Russia and the post-Soviet region\, and she is also a scholar of the Holocaust. Her work has been published by Comparative Political Studies (2019)\, Holocaust Studies (2021) and the Routledge Handbook of Religion\, Mass Atrocity\, and Genocide (2022). Dr. Lerner is currently completing her book manuscript\, entitled Post-Soviet Graffiti: Free Speech in the Streets (under advance contract with University of Toronto Press)\, which demonstrates that street art is a viable tool for political communication\, and effective in circumventing autocratic censorship. She conducted the research for this draft paper in 2021 as a Presidential Data Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Western Ontario (Canada)\,

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Launch - Émigré Voices: Conversations with Jewish Refugees from Germany and Austria
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Association of Jewish Refugees\, Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies and Insiders/Outsiders \nAbout the event: \nJoin us for the launch of this new volume by Bea Lewkowicz and Anthony Grenville\, who will speak at the event. The event will also feature a short film screening and live interviews with some of the children of the refugees featured in the volume. \n \nIn Émigré Voices Lewkowicz and Grenville present twelve oral history interviews with men and women who came to Britain as Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria in the late 1930s. Many of the interviewees rose to great prominence in their chosen career\, such as the author and illustrator Judith Kerr\, the actor Andrew Sachs\, the photographer and cameraman Wolf Suschitzky\, the violinist Norbert Brainin\, and the publisher Elly Miller. The narratives of the interviewees tell of their common struggles as child or young adult refugees who had to forge new lives in a foreign country and they illuminate how each interviewee dealt with the challenges of forced emigration and the Holocaust. The voices of the twelve interviewees provide the reader with a unique and original source\, which gives direct access to the lived multifaceted experience of the interviewees and their contributions to British culture. \nThe event will also feature a short film screening and live interviews with some of the children of the refugees featured in the volume: Tacy Kneale (daughter of Judith Kerr)\, Julia Donat (daughter of Wolfgang Suschitzky) and Tony Balacs (son of Doris Balacs). \nAbout the speakers: \nDr Bea Lewkowicz is a social anthropologist and oral historian and is the director of two oral history archives\, the AJR Refugee Voices Testimony and the Sephardi Voices UK Archive. She is a member of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London. Her research interests include oral history; trauma and memory; diasporas and displacement; and nationalism and ethnicity. She has worked on many oral history projects and has directed and produced a wide range of testimony-based films. She has also curated several exhibitions\, such as Continental Britons\, Double Exposure\, Sephardi Voices\, and Still in Our Hands: Kinder Life Portraits.

SUMMARY:Exhibition opening: ‘There was a time...’: Jewish Family Photographs Before 1939
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of our new exhibition that brings together over 100 never-before-seen portraits and snapshots from twelve Jewish families in the 1890s through the 1930s. \n \nDrawn from The Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique archives\, these private family photographs uncover a hidden history of pre-Nazi era Jewish life in Germany and Austria. Captions reveal the fates of some of the individuals depicted: persecution\, deportation\, annihilation\, or escape. \n‘There was a time…’ builds upon a growing public interest in vernacular photography: commonplace photographs made and bought by ordinary people. The images on display document everyday\, intimate moments and expressions of culture and identity\, creating a physical record of how the subjects wished to be seen and remembered. \nThe evening will include a drinks reception and brief remarks from the Library’s director and the exhibition’s curator.  \n

SUMMARY:Online Book Launch: Colonial Paradigms of Violence: Comparative Analysis of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Mass Killing
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London\, are delighted to host this event as part of our of Holocaust and Genocide Partnership activities. \nPart of the Racism\, Antisemitism\, Colonialism and Genocide event series  \nThis volume of European Holocaust Studies edited by Michelle Gordon and Rachel O’Sullivan brings together a collection of peer-reviewed research articles by scholars of the Holocaust\, genocide\, and colonialism. The book explores the key concepts and themes of the historiographical challenges that scholars are grappling with in recent work connected to Hannah Arendt’s ‘boomerang thesis’ and Raphael Lemkin’s definition of genocide and the importance of its colonial dimensions. This volume provides examples of how fruitful academic research can be in bridging the gap between studies of empire and the Holocaust\, but it also offers assessments of the potential analytical weaknesses and pitfalls of such an approach. Topics include colonial disease control and human experimentation in Nazi Germany; cultural genocide\, post-colonialism and Nazi genocide; US colonial violence in the Nazi imagination; cartography and post-colonialism in Holocaust Studies. \nIn conversation with Thomas Kühne\, the volume’s editors and several of its contributors\, this event will focus on the entanglements of the Holocaust and colonial histories and reflect upon more recent highly charged discussions on the Holocaust\, its legacies and debates on education and remembrance. \nThese include the ‘nationalisation’ of Holocaust history\, which informs political and public narratives and then feeds back into memory wars both within the European metropoles and the ‘peripheries’ that were once violently occupied. Such topics highlight that it is not only Germany that is engaged in debates on the Holocaust\, memorialisation\, ‘decolonisation’ and attempts to come to terms with the past (‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung’). \nAbout the speakers: \nThomas Kühne the Strassler Colin Flug Chair in the Study of Holocaust History and the Director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. His research explores the relation of war\, genocide\, and society\, long-term traditions of political culture and political emotions in Europe\, and the problem of locating the Holocaust and Nazi Germany in the continuities and discontinuities of the 20th century. His recent publications include the monographs The Rise and Fall of Comradeship: Hitler’s Soldiers\, Male Bonding and Mass Violence in the 20th Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2017)\, and Belonging and Genocide. Hitler’s Community\, 1918-1945 (Yale University Press\, 2010). \nRachel O’Sullivan is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Holocaust Studies\, Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History in Munich. She has published in the Journal of Genocide Research\, the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History\, and Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte (with Frank Bajohr). She is currently working on her first monograph on similarities and dissimilarities between colonialism and Nazi Germany’s inclusionary and exclusionary population policies in annexed Poland. \nMichelle Gordon is a researcher at the Hugo Valentin Center at Uppsala University\, Sweden\, and currently heads the project ‘The “Civilized” Nature of Nineteenth-Century Warfare? British and German Practices of Violence in Colonial and Intra-European Wars.’ Gordon is the author of Extreme Violence and the ‘British Way’: Colonial Warfare in Perak\, Sierra Leone and Sudan\, published as part of Bloomsbury’s ‘Empire’s Other Histories’ series in 2020. \nAleksandra Szczepan is a literary scholar\, co-founder and member of the Research Centre for Memory Cultures at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and a collaborator of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in oral history projects in Poland and Spain. She authored the book “Realista Robbe-Grillet” (2015) on 20th century redefinitions of realism. She has been recipient of scholarships from the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies\, the USHMM\, the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure and the Polish National Science Centre. She is currently working on a book project dedicated to the role of maps in Holocaust testimony. \nDorota Glowacka is Professor of Humanities at the University of King’s College in Kjipuktuk/Halifax\, Canada. Glowacka is the author of Po tamtej stronie: świadectwo\, afekt\, wyobraźnia (From the Other Side: Testimony\, Affect\, Imagination\, 2017) and Disappearing Traces: Holocaust Testimonials\, Ethics\, and Aesthetics (2012). She coedited Imaginary Neighbors: Mediating Polish-Jewish Relations after the Holocaust (2007) and Between Ethics and Aesthetics: Crossing the Boundaries (2002)\, and edited a special issue of Culture Machine entitled “Community” (2006). Glowacka has published numerous book chapters\, journal articles\, reviews\, and encyclopedia entries in the area of Holocaust and genocide studies\, critical theory\, and theories of gender. She is a member of the Academic Committee at the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Research at the USHMM. Her current research focuses on gender and genocide\, and on the intersections of the Holocaust and settler colonial genocides in North America. \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\n\n The Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Virtual PhD and a Cup of Tea: Ustaša Killing Specialists: the Personnel of the Jasenovac Concentration and Death Camp
DESCRIPTION:With an estimated 90\,000 to 100\,000 victims\, the Jasenovac concentration and death camp complex (1941–1945) was a major killing site during the Second World War and the epicentre of state-organized destruction in the fascist Independent State of Croatia. Emil Kjerte’s doctoral research focuses on the Croatian men and women stationed at the camp complex. Drawing on records from post-war trials and survivor testimonies\, he studies the guards’ backgrounds and motivations for volunteering for service\, the social dynamics of the violence they perpetrated\, their interactions with civilians and state actors outside the camp complex and their post-war trajectories. \nEmil Kjerte is a doctoral candidate at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Clark University in Massachusetts. He holds a BA in History from the University of Copenhagen and an MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies from Uppsala University. Besides EHRI\, his research has been supported by the Central European History Society\, the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University\, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. He will be a Conny Kristel European Holocaust Research Infrastructure Fellow at the Library in September 2022.
