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.

The lenses of social and cultural history can tell us much about the human experience of the Holocaust and persecution of the Jews, including how they responded and adapted as a community and as individuals. This week, we will read a chapter from Anna Hájková’s recent work on Theresienstadt alongside a forum discussion from the journal German History exploring cultural history and the Holocaust to explore the contribution this research can have to our understanding of the Holocaust.
Anna Hájková, ‘Cultural Life’, in The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt (New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2020).
“Cultural History and the Holocaust” German History 31.1 (2013): 61-85.
