Janusz Korczak wrote the following in his diary: “I feel content and discontent. I become angry, happy, anxious, indignant, I am eager to experience and to avoid experience, I am understanding but I call for punishment by God or man. [...] But all this is theoretical. Made to order. Flat, drab, customary, professional; I perceive things as if through a fog, with blotched, non-dimensional emotions. They seem to be beside me, not inside me. [...] Indolence. Poverty of feeling [...]. “He already knows he must die. And what next?” “Surely you cannot die more than once...?” (see more ...)

Reckoning in the first years after the Holocaust: justice, revenge, memory

The central theme of Volume 19 (2023) will be the post-war SEARCH FOR JUSTICE, emphasizing the period 1944–1949. The group of sources proposed for research consists of the files of prosecution investigations, trials of Nazi criminals and collaborators, social courts, and files of civil courts that adjudicated property matters.

We wish to devote Holocaust. Studies and Materials 18 (2022) to FLIGHTS. We are interested in flights not only in the literal but also metaphorical sense.

YEAR 2021

The Holocaust in Public Space: Articulations, Abuses, Interceptions

We wish to devote volume 17 of the Holocaust. Studies and Materials annual (2021) to various forms of the Holocaust’s presence in public space. What we mean is not only the Holocaust history or ways of its commemoration, but also its ideologization and instrumentalization for political purposes, as well as broadly-defined representations of the Holocaust experience in art, film, and literature, the exhibition strategies in museums and commemorative practices in public space, and, last but not least, the Holocaust’s presence in the new media, chiefly on the Internet (both educational websites, websites of official research or museum institutions, social media, and initiatives undertaken by private individuals and social organizations). Thus the editorial staff returns to the issues which constituted the core of volume 6 (2010), though in an different and expanded form. By doing this we wish to understand the reasons for the severing of the historical continuity in the comprehension of the Holocaust (as a past event of a specified structure) and its transformation into individual currently updated memory facts appropriated and taken over by individuals and entire communities (see more ...)
