OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
