SUMMARY:Book Launch and Talk: Dictatorship and Daily Life in 20th-Century Europe\, Dr Lisa Pine
DESCRIPTION:Edited by Dr Lisa Pine and bringing together leading scholars from across the UK\, North America and mainland Europe\, this book provides a uniquely comparative exploration of daily life under dictatorship in 20th-century Europe. \nWith coverage of well-known regimes and some that are relatively underrepresented in the literature from right across the continent\, it examines the impact felt on people’s lives amidst political administrations characterised by some or all of the following: a one-party state\, in which opposition or multiple parties were banned; a cult surrounding the leader; the censorship of the press and other publications; the widespread use of propaganda and political persuasion; and the threat or use of force by the regime and its agents. \nThe chapters investigate crucial questions in relation to life under dictatorships as follows: What was the impact of censorship on access to news or entertainment? How was leisure time conducted? What was the impact of the regime on working life? What was the scope for dissent and resistance? To what extent were these possible? How much did the regime coerce the population and how much did it try to indoctrinate? What was the difference for Party leaders\, comrades and members in terms of the possibilities and opportunities that opened up\, compared to everyone else in society? With the shutting down – to a large extent – of civil society and state intrusion into private life\, what restrictions were placed on ordinary and day-to-day activities? What happened to religious life and to cultural life and the arts? How were personal choices in aspects of life such as reproduction\, education and even eating affected by these regimes? What was the impact of different political ideologies on people’s way of life – whether Fascist\, Nazi or Communist? Dictatorship and Daily Life in 20th-Century Europe addresses these issues and more\, striking to the heart of European life in the darkest episodes of its recent history. \nAbout the speaker:\nLisa Pine is Associate Fellow of the Institute of Historical Research\, University of London\, UK. She is the author of Nazi Family Policy\, 1933-1945 (1997)\, Hitler’s “National Community”: Society and Culture in Nazi Germany (2007\, 2017)\, Education in Nazi Germany (2010) and Debating Genocide (2018). \nShe is the editor of Life and Times in Nazi Germany (2016)\, The Family in Modern Germany (2020) and Dictatorship and Daily Life in Twentieth-Century Europe (2022).

SUMMARY:Virtual Education Workshop: Resisters and Perpetrators of The Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Jewish Lithuanian partisans\, 1944. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections \nUsing sources from The Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique archive of material on the Nazi era and the Holocaust\, this workshop will critically consider commonly held perceptions of ordinary people as resisters and perpetrators during the Holocaust. \nThe workshop will use a range of contemporary documents and images to explore how these historical sources can be used to examine the actions of ordinary people in extraordinary situations. We will also examine assumptions about the choices ordinary people had and reflect upon the ways in which our understanding of the categories of ‘perpetrators’ and ‘resisters’ can influence how the Holocaust is perceived in the UK today. \nThe workshop is aimed at British secondary school teachers and educators\, and will be led by Dr Barbara Warnock\, the Library’s Senior Curator and Head of Education and Dr Ian Rich\, the Library’s Researcher of the International Tracing Service Archive  \nEvent guidelines for those joining online:\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. If 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition talk: Jewish Life in Vienna on the Eve of Deportations\, Dr Michaela Raggam-Blesch
DESCRIPTION:The nurse Mignon Langnas at the Jewish old age home\, Vienna 1942. Courtesy of George Langnas \nThe Anschluss to Nazi Germany radically changed the lives of the Jewish population. While anti–Jewish measures had progressed in Germany over the course of five years\, they were implemented in Austria overnight. \nMany Austrian Jews therefore tried to escape the Nazi terror in the months following the Nazi take-over. Between 1938 and 1941\, more than 130\,000 Jewish Austrians fled the country\, while overcoming bureaucratic hurdles and deliberate obstructions. Around 17\,000 of them were later on caught by the Nazi regime in their countries of refuge. \nAt the beginning of 1941\, there were still around 61\,000 people living in Vienna\, who were defined as Jewish under the Nazi Race Laws. The Jewish population was now completely impoverished due to Aryanization measures and deprivation by the Nazi authorities. This lecture will focus on Jewish life under Nazi rule on the eve of deportation\, describing the living conditions in the forced collective flats and the welfare institutions of the Jewish Community\, who attempted to alleviate the most pressing needs through soup kitchens\, health services and other forms of aid. \nAbout the speaker\nMichaela Raggam-Blesch is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Contemporary History at the University of Vienna\, where she is working on her habilitation on “Mixed Families” during the Nazi period in Vienna\, funded by the Elise Richter grant (Austrian Science Fund) and the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah (Paris). She is guest lecturer at the Universities of Vienna\, Klagenfurt and Graz\, and from 1999 to 2003 she worked at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York. She has been the recipient of various fellowships and was awarded with the Leon Zelman Prize in 2022. Michaela Raggam-Blesch is curator of several exhibitions on the Holocaust – most recently of the exhibit on the Vienna Model of Radicalization: Austria and the Shoah.

The event is organised in response to the 2023 HMD theme of ‘ordinary people’\, which acknowledges that genocide is both facilitated and experienced by ordinary people. \nThis panel of speakers highlights new thinking and research about this theme\, considering how Jewish persecutees responded to the Nazi onslaught in the Warsaw ghetto and about the various forms of protest and solidarity by “ordinary” Jews from Poland for Jews from Germany. \nSpeakers: \nDr Katarzyna Person\, author of Warsaw Ghetto Police: The Jewish Order Service during the Nazi Occupation\, among many other studies\, is a historian working at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw.

She has written a number of articles on the Holocaust and its aftermath in occupied Europe\, and edited three volumes of documents from the Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto. A book\, based on her PhD thesis\, which deals with assimilated\, acculturated and baptised Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto\, was published by Syracuse University Press in 2014. \nDr Anne-Christin Klotz\, author of Together against Germany: Warsaw’s Yiddish Daily Press and Its Fight against National Socialism\, 1930–1941 (in German)\, is a postdoctoral researcher at the Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After She received her PhD from the Free University Berlin in 2021\, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California\, Berkeley. Before and during her studies she worked as a research assistant at the Selma Stern Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg and volunteered at the educational department at the Holocaust memorial site Stutthof (Sztutowo\, Poland). In addition to scholarships by Yad Vashem and the Saul Kagan Fellowship in Advanced Holocaust Studies\, she was recently awarded the “Irma Rosenberg Award for the Research of National socialism” by the Austrian Society for Modern History for her PhD thesis as well as a special distinction by the jury of the Scientific Research Award of the Polish Ambassador to Germany. Currently\, she is preparing a source edition on Yiddish travelogues through Nazi Germany and started working on a new book project that examines the role\, function and networks of Eastern European Jewish landsmanshaftn (hometown associations) as a means of migrant self-help during and after the Shoah. \n  \nChaired by: \nDr Christine Schmidt is the Deputy Director and Head of Research at The Wiener Holocaust Library. Her recent research has focused on postwar tracing and documentation efforts\, the concentration camp system in Nazi Germany\, and comparative studies of collaboration\, rescue and resistance in France and Hungary.

SUMMARY:Virtual Student Workshop: Forgotten Victims: The Nazi Genocide of the Roma and Sinti
DESCRIPTION:Margarete Kraus\, a Czech Roma who was sent to Auschwitz. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nOn 16 December 1942\, a decree was issued by Himmler to move all Sinti and Roma in Reich Territory to Auschwitz\, where a special camp had been built to hold them.
