Fascist Italy鈥檚 approach to citizenship is unexpected. For one, it left the liberal legislation in place; for another, it sought to extend citizenship to imperial subjects who were at the same time targeted as racial others. Equally, the racial laws did not strip Italian Jews of citizenship. What then did citizenship represent for both regime and citizen? Though scholars have rarely applied the lens of citizenship to understand Fascism, I use it to examine the vast impact the regime had across nation and empire and even in the diaspora. Thinking about citizenship exposes the central challenges and paradoxes of a regime that destroyed democracy and racialized Italianness but nevertheless sought legitimacy both at home and abroad in an age of popular sovereignty.

We remain horrified by the deeds of those who perpetrated the Holocaust but perhaps more mystified than ever. The long-held consensus among historians that the perpetrators were 鈥渙rdinary men鈥� does not satisfy, and not just because we now know more about the role of women as auxiliaries. We are not sure what 鈥渙rdinary鈥� demarcates: Not psychotic? Of their time? The same as us? Of recognizable human stuff but subject to special influences, and thus, in the end, decidedly not ordinary? As we uncover ever more groups somehow implicated in genocide, the boundary between perpetrator and wider society also becomes blurred, raising the question whether it was the home front, far removed from the killing action, where the answers to how the perpetrators were formed, is to be found.

During World War Two,听an estimated 12,000 Jews听in Nazi Germany听tried to evade deportation to the death camps by going into hiding and living in illegality.听Around 5,000听of them听survived until the end of the war in 1945.听Professor听Schrafstetter's work examines the experiences of these Jews while on the run and after the war.听Some Jews lived underground in a single location, while many others听changed their hiding places frequently.听Fugitive Jews听were often visible and highly mobile, in some cases听traveling听hundreds of miles in their听quest听for survival. Jews who spent years in hiding constituted a special听group of Holocaust survivors, as Prof. Schrafstetter demonstrates, looking at their re-emergence听from hiding, their lives in postwar Germany, and their struggle for financial compensation from the German government. 听听

Two attempts at assassinating Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded. In November 1939, a time bomb planted by the German cabinetmaker Georg Elser exploded in a Munich Beer Hall just 13 minutes after Hitler had left the scene. In July 1944, a bomb planted by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in a briefing room at Hitler鈥檚 military headquarters in East Prussia exploded, injuring but not killing Hitler. The actions and intentions of the two would-be assassins have been the subject discussion and debate for decades. In his lecture, Professor Steinweis examines whether moral outrage over the Holocaust was a motive behind the assassinations.

In his lecture, Professor Edward Westermann offered a comparison between the National Socialist conquest of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and the process of U.S. westward expansion between 1850 and 1890. His talk offered important insights into the similarities and the differences between the two national projects of conquest and the acts of atrocity and mass killings that accompanied them.

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Professor David E.

How should we think about the transmission of Holocaust memory more than seventy years after the defeat of Nazi Germany? What lessons do the events of the Shoah bear for a moment in which far-right political movements are once again on the rise? In order to address such questions, Professor Michael Rothberg considered immigrants鈥� engagement with the Holocaust in contemporary Germany. The works of art, literature, and performance that he discussed modeled alternative ways of remembering the Nazi genocide in the twenty-first century and suggested possibilities for an ethically and politically engaged memory work.

The voids and empty spaces in the Jewish Museum in Berlin evoke destruction and absence. In this public lecture, Professor Nils Roemer aims to explore these absences and voids as important aspects of remembrance, particularly in relation to public commemorations of the Holocaust in museums and on Holocaust remembrance days. He will develop these themes of absence and advance models of remembrance that view the Holocaust as an historical event of the past amid the enormous void of an annihilated future.

The question of collaboration remains one of the most sensitive and contested issues regarding the study and memory of the Holocaust in Greece today, especially in the major port city of Salonica (Thessaloniki). On the eve of the war, Salonica was home to the country鈥檚 largest Jewish population, numbering 56,000; in 1945, less than 2,000 remained. Another casualty of the occupation was the city鈥檚 vast Jewish burial ground, which covered more than eighty acres and was once the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. During the Nazi occupation, local authorities initiated the destruction of the cemetery and subsequently erected the city鈥檚 university campus on top of it. Marble tombstones were used for construction projects throughout the city.

This presentation will explore the rationale underpinning the demolition of the Jewish cemetery and how the processes at work during the Nazi鈥檚 occupation provided an opportunity to resolve an on-going conflict regarding the status of the Jewish burial ground and preexisting aspirations to expand the nearby university. During the pre-war period, local Jewish leaders argued that the tombstones 鈥渟poke,鈥� that the inscriptions narrated the history of the city and ought to be preserved as monuments of national patrimony. The competing interests came to a head during the occupation. Even if the stones 鈥渟poke,鈥� who was prepared to listen? Drawing on previously unstudied archives of the Jewish community, records from the local chamber of commerce, and newspapers in Judeo-Spanish, Greek, and French, this talk presented a window into the confrontation and negotiation between the Jewish community of Salonica and the Greek state over urban space and the national narrative in the context of the Nazi occupation. Controversy over the place of the Jewish dead ultimately served as a metaphor for the uncertain place of the living.

The summer of 1944 saw Soviet forces lead a surprisingly quick advance West during Operation Bagration, a forward movement that led to the liberation of Majdanek, an almost intact extermination camp close to the Polish city of Lublin on July 23. The horrors found inside the 鈥榙eath factory鈥� were described in articles, captured in photos and filmed by Soviet and Polish camera crews. In this lecture, Dr. Drubek will examine how the incontrovertible evidence of Nazi atrocities was an unexpected blow to the Nazi leadership, which had worked hard to hide all the traces of the death camps and ghettos in the East. As a response, the German propaganda machine struck back by producing its own film showing 鈥榟appy鈥� Jewish life in a ghetto guarded by the SS. In an unexpected and macabre twist, German film producers invited a Jewish comedian to take a leading role in the film.

Fifty years ago, Israel shocked the world when it announced that it had captured Adolf Eichmann, one of the main organizers of the Final Solution. His trial in Jerusalem is considered to have caused a major change in the world鈥檚 knowledge of the Holocaust. How much of an impact did it really have? Did it really get survivors to speak about their experiences in a way that they had never spoken before? Does it have relevance for us today in terms of war crimes and the punishment of their perpetrators?

In addition to her vast scholarship, Lipstadt is known widely as the defendant in the David Irving vs. Penguin Books/Deborah Lipstadt case. Following the publication of her critically acclaimed 1993 book, 鈥淒enying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory,鈥� the first full-length study of those who attempt to deny the Holocaust, Lipstadt and her British publisher were sued by author David Irving for identifying him as a Holocaust denier. The judge found David Irving to be a Holocaust denier, a falsifier of history, a racist and anti-Semite. According to The New York Times, the trial 鈥減ut an end to the pretense that Mr. Irving is anything but a self-promoting apologist for Hitler.鈥� Her 2006 book, 鈥淗istory on Trial: My Day in Court with A Holocaust Denier,鈥� is the story of that trial.
