The program will also engage students in assignments that are condcuted in cooperation with an international NGO working on issues of justice and post-conflict societal development.
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce a unique study abroad opportunity to Poland hosted by the College of Advancing and Professional Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
Hello!
We’re looking for some new editors to run H-Genocide. I’ve done what I can to hold down the ship but we’d like to get the position filled with a team of people who know the field much better than I.
Posted to H-Holocaust and H-Genocide
Colleagues:
I am writing to ask for help with a large undertaking: an inventory of work with genocide (including Holocaust) and other political violence survivors that is not limited to the conventional testimony collection/archive model. While they are various, the following dimensions characterize many of the projects that I have been listing:
1. At least some degree of sustained acquaintance with the survivors involved--more than a single interview.
H-Net is pleased to announce the launch of the World War I Crossroads, a collaboration between editors and networks on the Commons dedicated to the scholarly study and discussion of World War I and the centennial commemoration of the conflict. This new Crossroads network will produce original content, facilitate initiatives on the conflict across multiple H-Net Networks, and highlight World War I postings from anywhere on the H-Net Commons.
Dear Dr. Mengerink,
You might find Keith David Watenpaugh's "The Human Rights Historian and the Trafficked Child: Writing the History of Mass Violence and Individual Trauma" useful: http://www.historians.org/publications-and-directories/perspectives-on-history/october-201....

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Beyond camps and forced labour: current international research on survivors of Nazi persecution Fifth international multidisciplinary conference, to be held at Imperial War Museum London, 7-9 January 2015
I have just happened on Mark Mengerink's interesting query on the possible traumatic effect when one immersesmerses oneself in Holocaust research. From my own personal experience in the private and public papers of Robert Briscoe, a member of the Irish-Jewish community who was involved in the Irish War of Independence alongside Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera before becoming involved the 1930s German-Jewish emigration effort. He then joined with Jabotinsky and the revisionists in their desperate attempt to break the British blockade of the Mandate.
I turn to colleagues on this list for assistance in identifying studies examining the psychological impact on scholars of studying trauma/atrocity/genocide. Does studying such topics impact the scholars psychologically?
I hope to incorporate data from such studies into my current project. I thank you in advance for your assistance.
Mark Mengerink
