Dear H-Genocide Readers,

With: Anna Hájková, Associate Professor of modern European continental history, the University of Warwick; and Amos Goldberg, Jonah M.

Hi all,

Earlier this week I hosted a virtual speaker from the Northwestern University Holocaust Educational Foundation Virtual Speakers Bureau who gave an excellent talk on psychology and the Holocaust. During the Q&A, one of the students asked a comparative question. She mentioned that in addition to the Jews, others groups were persecuted by the Nazi regime and murdered during the Holocaust. She asked if that was unique or if there were multiple victim groups in other genocides. Both the speaker and I thought this was a great question, but neither of us had an answer.

The Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London, with the support of the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University, USA, and Pears Foundation, is pleased to invite applications for participation in a unique virtual ‘taster’ edition of the biennial European Summer Institute on the Holocaust and Jewish Civilisation.
