The keynote lecture is a public in-person event, a registration is necessary via email until October 13 conference will take place in-person at the Leibniz Institute of Contemporary History, Munich, Germany with limited space available. Nicholas Stargardt will deliver the Keynote Lecture on “Restoring the subjectivities of children in the Holocaust” and argue for an approach to interpreting these children's subjectivities. The conference brings innovative contributions which tackle case studies of children during war and genocide together and gives room to new approaches and questions. ![]() This offers us a new and vital opportunity for systematic and focused comparative studies of timely topics such as the role of a child’s gender and agency as well as different social groups and resources that enabled the children to survive family status, gender, and adoption of orphaned children in the aftermath of war and genocide and the child survivors’ official state status, rehabilitation, education, and displacement, among others. However, thanks to the recent endorsement of child-centered historical methods and interdisciplinary approaches, the experiences and memories of child survivors of the 20th century wars and genocides have also begun to be investigated. In addition, specific histories of child survivors of other genocides in the twenty century and beyond are lacking. Still, large research gaps remain, especially concerning the German war in the East. The mass of scholarly works on Jewish and non-Jewish child survivors and youth of the Nazi era, and the studies of the ways young survivors were treated by relatives, adoptive parents, social workers, medical staff, and respective states in the aftermath of the Second World War, is constantly growing. ![]()
