OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Combining Burzlaff’s historiographical overview with a chapter from Fulbrook’s recent book, these readings explore the relations between social groupings and the Holocaust. They raise questions about how to reconcile the Holocaust as a defining event in people’s lives with the variety of wartime experiences, bringing together debates on categorization, politics, geography and community.
