Call for Papers to IHRS and HL-senteret Conference 2024 is open

by karin.kvist.geverts＠ihrs.se

Call for Papers Holocaust Exhibitions and Memory Culture 14 November 2024 The Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies (HL-senteret), Norway, and the Institute for Holocaust research in Sweden (IHRS) cordially invites scholars, curators and educators in the field of Holocaust Studies and Education to the conference Holocaust Exhibitions and Memory Culture at Villa Grande in Oslo, Norway. Scandinavia’s first Holocaust memorial museum, the HL-senteret, opened its main exhibition in 2006. In June 2023, The Swedish Holocaust Museum opened in Stockholm. This year, the Dutch National Holocaust Museum opened to the public in Amsterdam and HL-senteret began its work towards re-creating a new permanent exhibition. Next year commemorates 80 years since the Holocaust ended, and while there has never been so many Holocaust Museums in the world as today, there are hardly any survivors left to bear witness. The IHRA International Memorial Museums Charter reminds us that memorial museums are responsible to protect the dignity of the victims from all forms of exploitation and to ensure, beyond conventional history lessons, that the interpretation of political events inspires critical, independent thinking about the past. But how can this be done? We are happy to announce that Professor Emile G. L. Schrijver, General Director of the Jewish Cultural Quarter in Amsterdam will give the keynote speech on “Developing and opening Amsterdam's National Holocaust Museum in a politicised era: curatorial challenges and critical choices.” We welcome proposals reflecting on how we can tell the story of the Holocaust today. Should we learn from or about the Holocaust? Who(m) should be included? What is told and what choices do we make? Is an exhibition on a memorial site met with different expectations than an exhibition in a museum? How does the national and transnational memory culture(-s) affect how the Holocaust is exhibited? Acknowledging that the story of the Holocaust is a story of de-humanization, we ask if it is possible to re-humanize the victims and how? Who is telling the story and how can different victim groups be included in telling the story? What role can digital technology take in exhibiting the Holocaust for the future? And, are there best practices which we can learn from? We welcome paper presentations or poster options. The paper should present new and original research, whereas the poster could present a current exhibition or best practices. If you wish to present a paper or a poster, please submit an abstract of 150-200 words and a short bio via e-mail to the Director of IHRS on karin.kvist.geverts(a)ihrs.se<mailto:karin.kvist.geverts@ihrs.se>. Deadline for submission of abstracts is June 28. Confirmation of accepted abstracts will be given end of July. The conference is free of charge. Travel expenses and lodging will be covered for presenters.

CFP: A Postwar Republic of Letters? Gender, Archiving, and Knowledge Production after the Holocaust

by Victoria Martinez

A Postwar Republic of Letters? Gender, Archiving, and Knowledge Production after the Holocaust Section II (thematic section) of History of Intellectual Culture (HIC), Volume 4, 2025 Edited by Ewa Koźmińska-Frejlak, Victoria Van Orden Martínez, and Christine Schmidt We invite proposals for contributions to a thematic section of History of Intellectual Culture (HIC)<https://www.degruyter.com/serial/hicu-b/html?lang=en>, an international and interdisciplinary open-access yearbook for peer-reviewed papers, published by De Gruyter and edited by Charlotte A. Lerg, Johan Östling, and Jana Weiß. The theme, titled A Postwar Republic of Letters? Gender, Archiving, and Knowledge Production after the Holocaust and co-guest edited by Ewa Koźmińska-Frejlak, Victoria Van Orden Martínez, and Christine Schmidt, focuses on the circulation of knowledge via letters and other forms of written communication within and among survivor historical commissions after the Second World War, emphasizing the interplay of gender and other differences in the history of knowledge and intellectual culture in this context. The history of documentation efforts and knowledge production after the Nazi period is a burgeoning area of research, particularly concerning Jewish collecting efforts. Still, there is little attention paid thus far to the framing of these activities in terms of gender and exploring how gender intersects with class, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, and other contexts to shape knowledge production and dissemination. Documentation and archives-building are important facets of knowledge production through establishing the historical record of evidence. We invite proposals for contributions (of up to circa 8,000 words, written in English) that explore how knowledge about these activities was amassed and circulated in national and transnational contexts. We as researchers are particularly interested in forms of 'unseen labor' - various forms of work, often 'administrative' in nature and therefore primarily conducted by women - that remain underexplored and marginalized in studies of the production, circulation and history of knowledge in this context, as well as of intellectual culture. Therefore, we are particularly interested in case studies of how gender and other differences impacted the circulation of knowledge through written communications about war crimes investigations and postwar trials, the publication and dissemination of scholarly and popular literature, archiving, the collection of oral histories and testimonies, and other outputs. The proposed contributions can address any aspect of the broad themes outlined above or other, more specific topics that relate to the production and circulation of knowledge, history of knowledge, and intellectual culture. For example, archives and other collections deriving from documentation gathered for postwar justice trials, clinical research on survivors and trauma, and family, private collections, or Jewish communal record keeping. We welcome and encourage collaborative (especially interdisciplinary) articles, comparative studies, etc. We are also very interested in proposals for submissions that focus on North American or transatlantic cases.
