About the Workshop
Interdisciplinary and Transnational
Promoting Emerging Graduates and Practitioners
Self-organized and Democratic
The “Workshop on the History and Memory of National Socialist Camps and Killing Sites” has been organized annually by graduates and practitioners for graduates and practitioners since 1994.
Each year it takes place at a different location related to National Socialist camps and killing sites. The week-long program consists of excursions and presentations given by recent graduates and practitioners on current research topics related to this theme.
The aim of the workshop is to give emerging academics and practitioners the chance to discuss their work in a friendly atmosphere, to enable networking from different countries and disciplines, and to promote research on marginalized topics. A collective volume is published after each workshop.
You can find information about past workshops and their resulting publications on this website.
The 27th Workshop will take place in Utrecht, the Netherlands from 28 October to 3 November 2024.

Inviting a conceptual reconsideration of centre and periphery in the study of National Socialist camps and killing sites, this volume puts forth novel scholarly analyses of the history and memory of the Holocaust and World War II. The book is organised thematically into three interrelated sections that engage innovative methodological approaches to the history of this period, perpetrator studies, and post-war memorial practices. Employing a fluid and interpretive understanding of centre and periphery, the authors offer timely interventions into the use of visual sources and archival materials, explore perpetration and collaboration as transnational and political categories, and examine contested legacies of the Holocaust, and post-war commemorative practices, pedagogy and memorialisation.
