SUMMARY:Hybrid Talk: When the Nineteenth Century Ended for Jews: The Elderly and the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Holocaust Research Institute (HGRP) are pleased to invite participation in the public keynote lecture for its closed doctoral workshop\, Older People and the Holocaust. Prof Stone’s lecture will analyse key themes on the understudied topic of the elderly and the Holocaust\, which will be explored in the workshop as well as in a forthcoming volume\, Older Jews and the Holocaust\, edited by Christine Schmidt\, Elizabeth Anthony and Joanna Sliwa (Wayne State University Press\, 2025). Participants are welcome to join the lecture online or in person. \nStarting with the assertion by Polish historian Michał Głowiński that the nineteenth century ended for Jews with the death camps\, this talk examines the murder of the elderly during the Holocaust and postwar care for the few elderly survivors. The lecture will discuss how the brutal treatment of the elderly exemplifies Nazi ideology’s attack on the Jews per se\, since their attitude to the weakest in society goes to the heart of what Nazism was all about. The murder of the elderly signified an overturning of nineteenth-century notions of “progress” and freedom before the law. \nAbout the Speaker\nDan Stone is Professor of Modern History and Director of the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway\, University of London. He is the author or editor of numerous books\, including The Holocaust: An Unfinished History (Pelican\, 2023). \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
