The editors of the Journal of Genocide Research
(the official journal of the International Network of Genocide
Scholars) and the School of Humanities of the International
Hellenic University are organising a one-day research workshop on the
history of the Holocaust in Greece. The focus will not only be on the
actual events of the Nazi occupation, including deportations, and
resistance, but also on their aftermath. The workshop will take place in
Thessaloniki, Greece, a city of great symbolic importance to Sephardic
Jewry. The workshop language is English.
Holocaust research, with significant delay, is currently being
incorporated in the Greek national historiography. It remains relatively
understudied and marginal both within Holocaust literature and the
Greek academic and public spheres. The workshop agenda is open but the
organizers would especially welcome papers of an interdisciplinary and
comparative nature or which use new research tools and sources. Issues
of special interest to the organizers are: property confiscation; local
dimensions of the Nazi occupation, such as Jewish community responses
and resistance; the Greek administration’s involvement in implementing
Nazi policies; the Holocaust in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace and the
Dodecanese (areas outside the administrative boundaries of the Greek
state at that time); Greece in the context of the “Final Solution”;
antisemitism; rescue networks; camp and DP camp experiences of Greek
Jews, Sonderkommando; camp returnees and restoration of the communities;
the Jewish community politics of memorialization; and the public sphere
and the Holocaust in Greece.Link: http://www.ihu.edu.gr/ichg/index.php
