Hej nätverket, Vi lanserade i veckan projektet *Forgotten Exodu*s, var syfte är att samla in vittnesmål från de judar och överlevande från Förintelsen som blev fördrivna från Polen under kommunistregimens antisemitiska kampanj 1968. För närvarande letar vi efter en praktikant för projektet (betald praktikplats). Jag bifogar utlysningen som ni gärna får dela den med eventuella lämpliga kandidater. Vidare information om projektet finns tillgänglig på vår hemsida <http://www.forgottenexodus.org> samt på våra Twitter <https://twitter.com/exodus_1968>, YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVDDU9FeJ64> och Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/forgotten_exodus/>-konton. Mvh Daniel -- *Daniel Schatz, Ph.D.* Visiting Scholar, Georgetown University Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service daniel(a)danielschatz.se http://www.danielschatz.se

Förfrågan om hjälp från doktorand Daniela Gaitán, Argentina

by Britta Zetterström Geschwind

Hej alla! Jag har fått en fråga från en doktorand i Argentina, Daniela Gaitán, som behöver hjälp av en svensk spansktalande forskare som kan ställa upp som expertgranskare av hennes manus (som är i slutfasen)! Avhandlingen behandlar den svenska journalisten Cordelia Edvardson, som överlevde Förintelsen och kom till Sverige 1945. Personen behöver ha kännedom om det svenska samhället under folkhemsepoken och kunskap om Förintelsen. Om du inte själv kan, kanske du har ett förslag på någon annan som kan vara intresserad? Maila i så fall mig, eller direkt till Daniela. Hon behöver mer konkret någon som kan fylla i ett enkelt formulär med några "checkpoints" över innehållet. Hon vädjar även att personen är med på ett kort zoommöte med examinatorer och höra henne försvara avhandlingen, vad jag förstår. Se hennes mail nedan samt abstract! Bästa hälsningar Britta Britta Z Geschwind FoU-koordinator, Sveriges museum om Förintelsen [cid:1883524360c4cff311] Från: Daniela Gaitán <danigaitan90(a)gmail.com> Skickat: den 19 maj 2023 19:53 Till: Britta Zetterström Geschwind <britta.zetterstrom.geschwind(a)shm.se> Ämne: Re: Om PhD om Cordelia Edvarson från Argentina Hej, Britta, här är jag igen med mer information! I am attaching the abstract of my thesis (in English and in Spanish). On regards to this persons' expertise, I'd need the following: We need a person that is familiar with Swedish society. Therefore, the periods you mention are accurate (1930s - 1970s). This person has to know some sort of historical background on the Holocaust. On regards to the language, I'd need that this person is able to read some Spanish as the Thesis itself it's in Spanish. From her/his side, I'd need two additional things: to complete a simple form in Spanish with some "checkpoints" on the content (no worries on the written language, I can certainly translate the questions/answers). And finally, I'd need to invite this person to a short Zoom meeting with my Thesis Directors to hear me on a public defense (it's not mandatory to do a Q&A, just to assist after completing the form it's fine). We can certainly find a good time frame for this person not to disturb his/her schedule. Thanks for your support on this! I'm happy to promote Edvardson's life & Swedish heritage and culture in Argentina! Kinds regards, El jue, 18 may 2023 a la(s) 03:53, Britta Zetterström Geschwind (britta.zetterstrom.geschwind(a)shm.se<mailto:britta.zetterstrom.geschwind@shm.se>) escribió: Dear All: My name is Daniela Gaitán, I live in Argentina and I am in the final stage of the PhD in Cultural Diversity with a Specialization in Judaic and Judeo-American Studies (provided by the National University of Tres de Febrero). I have delivered the Thesis, which has been directed by Dr. Perla Sneh. It covers the life of Swedish journalist Cordelia Edvardson, a Holocaust survivor. Although the University has convened a court, it is necessary that an expert in Swedish culture can also read it and put their opinion on a form that the National University of Tres de Febrero will eventually send you. This person is also expected to be fluent in the Spanish language and to have a PhD or equivalent training, which enables them to carry out a critical reading of the thesis. As a result of what has been mentioned above, I dared to ask you if, from your place, you could help me with this request. Needless to say, I remain available to answer any questions or share with you material or documentation that you may require to consider my request. Thank you very much for your time. Kind regards, -- Lic. Daniela Gaitán -- Lic. Daniela Gaitán

Seminar: From Holocaust Denial to Holocaust Distortion

by Tadek Markiewicz

Dear All, On Thursday, June 8th, we are welcoming a visiting scholar - Jan Grabowski (University of Ottawa) - to Hugo Valentin Centre's seminar series (Uppsala Uni). Drawing on his own experience of being accused in a defamation trial of tarnishing the memory of a Polish villager in a book about the Holocaust (The Historians Under Attack for Exploring Poland's Role in the Holocaust | The New Yorker<https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-historians-under-attack-f…>), Jan will give a talk: "From Holocaust Denial to Holocaust Distortion: New Challenges Facing Scholars". Here you can read more about Jan's talk: Holocaust denial, well known to educators, scholars and to most of the reading public, means denying the factuality of the Jewish catastrophe. Holocaust denial, however insidious a phenomenon, has recently been largely replaced with Holocaust distortion, a much more dangerous threat to the memory of the Shoah. Holocaust distortionists do not deny that Holocaust happened - they simply argue that their people, their nation, their group had nothing to do with the event. The distortion of the Holocaust has become an unstated "history policy" of several European states. The state resources poured into Holocaust distortion and the narrative based on half-truths and fallacies served without the proper historical context, all conspire to make the distortion of the Holocaust a significant threat to the memory of six million dead victims of the Shoah. Jan's work overlaps with the multiple research interests of the colleagues in the FFSS network. He is a leading scholar of the Holocaust. He has dedicated his career to the study of the Holocaust in Poland. His works - such as his famous book "Hunt for the Jews" - are considered milestones in Holocaust studies. In recognition of his achievements, Grabowski's work was recently awarded the prestigious Impact Award, which honours the achievements of Canada's top thinkers and researchers. Thus, I am confident his work will be of interest to many colleagues. The seminar will be held in room 22-1009 at Engelska Parken, between 10:15 and 12:15. Thus, I hope we will have lots of time for a Q&A session as well as more open debate. Importantly, the seminar is open to everyone so please disseminate this event broadly! Also, Jan is actually coming to Uppsala for a two-day visit (7-8th of June). Should you wish to meet him, contact me.
