Musées juifs en Europe post-communiste

Deux informations à retenir en ce mois de janvier 2016 concernant les musées d’histoire juive :
– un numéro de la revue East European Jewish Affairs consacré aux nouveaux musées juifs en Europe post-communiste ;
– une séance organisée le 10 janvier au Centre d’Histoire juive (Center for Jewish History) de New York et dédiée aux musées juifs du 21e siècle en Europe de l’Est, avec un focus particulier sur le récent musée des Juifs de Pologne à Varsovie et sur le Musée juif et le Centre pour la Tolérance à Moscou (à ce propos lire aussi cet article paru en 2014 : ” Le musée juif et le centre pour la tolérance de Moscou“). Ces interventions sont d’ailleurs liées à la parution du numéro ci-dessus mentionné.

Call for Papers

Suppressed Historiography, Erased Memory? The Perception of the Shoah in East Central Europe during Socialist Rule

Workshop
November 30 to December 1, 2015
Halle, Germany

In Holocaust and Memory Studies the assumption prevails that in the socialist states of Eastern Europe the Shoah was either not an object of historical research and publicmemory at all or that is has been falsified, politically exploited or rendered taboo. However, a closer look reveals that such views are far too simplistic. From the late 1940s through the 1980s historical studies, memoirs, reports and newspaper articles ont he Shoah appeared in these countries, not to mention that some of the most known literary works on the issue originated from the eastern side of the iron curtain and were written by authors such as Imre Kertész, Jurek Becker, Ota Filip or Hanna Krall. The boom of Jewish culture in the 1980s was also not restricted to North America and Western Europe. It stimulated debates on the destruction of European Jewry in Eastern Europe – in state-controlled media as well as in the uncensored press of dissidents andoppositionists. The perception of the Shoah in East Central Europe was thus a dynamic process which was influenced by a variety of internal and transnational factors.

This situation leads so several questions such as the following:

How was the Shoah perceived in socialist states? How was it researched, commemorated and discussed? How did perceptions differ from western ones, to what degree were they similar to each other or even entangled? How did Shoah perceptions change over time? Was the study and memory of the Shoah connected to political, socialor cultural trends? How did specific political and social, but also religious communities remember and discuss the Shoah?

These questions will be discussed during a workshop at the Aleksander Brückner Center for Polish Studies in Halle (Germany) from November 30 to December 1, 2015. The geographical focus of the conference is on East Central Europe, namely Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Hungary. However, proposals on neighboring countries, such as the Soviet Union or Romania, will also be considered.

Special attention will be given to:

1. Historiography and Documentation (Research Institutions or single Researchers, Museums and Memorials)

2. Political instrumentalization of research and memory of the Shoah

3. (Semi-)Public debates on the Shoah

4. Reflections on the Shoah in the Arts and Literature and their reception

Experienced scholars as well as doctoral students from the humanities and social sciences are invited to submit a proposal in English of 500 words maximum explainingthe paper’s main hypothesis and the sources used, as well as a short CV by 22 March 2015. Please address proposals and questions to: stephan.stach@geschichte.uni-halle.de

Travel expenses and accommodation will be covered by the organizers.
