New Editors needed for H-Genocide
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.
World War I on H-Net
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....

Re: INQ: Studying Atrocity, Trauma, and Genocide: Scholars, and archival trauma
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.
INQ: Studying Atrocity, Trauma, and Genocide
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.
