On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Diaries offer a window into people’s personal experiences, reactions, and inner-most feelings. In this session, we will read a chapter from Mary Berg’s diary of life in the Warsaw Ghetto alongside a reflective piece on young people’s diaries by Alexandra Zapruder. In doing so, we will question not only the content and style of diaries but, also, consider how they are created and altered and the impact this has on how we use them in research.
Mary Berg, ‘Chapter VIII – Horror Stalks the Streets’, The Diary of Mary Berg: Growing up in the Warsaw Ghetto, (Oxford: Oneworld, 2006).
Alexandra Zapruder, ‘Appendix II – At the Margins’, Salvaged Pages: Young Writer’s Diaries of the Holocaust (Yale University Press, 2002), pp. 444-450.
