VWI invites/goes to...

 

Cycle of VWI Fellows’ Colloquia

 

The VWI fellows present their intermediary research results in the context of colloquia which are announced to a small audience and are open to a public audience with an academic and topical interest. The lectures are complemented by a response or commentary by an expert in the given field and are discussed with the other fellows.

 

Due to the previous lack of an appropriate space, the colloquia were held at other Viennese research and cultural institutions with a topical or regional connection to the given subject. From this circumstance was born the “VWI goes to …” format.

 

With the move to a new institute building at Rabensteig 3, the spatial circumstances have changed, so that the VWI is now happily able to invite other research and cultural institutions. Therefore, the VWI is now conducting its colloquia both externally and within its own building, in the framework of continued co-operation with other institutions.

 

The new cycle of fellows’ colloquia “VWI invites/goes to …” is not only able to reach a broader circle of interested persons, but moreover integrates the VWI further into the Viennese scholarly establishment, perhaps even crossing borders into the greater regional research landscape.

Philipp Dinkelaker: ‘Jewish Collaboration’? Honour Courts, Criminal Courts, And Compensation Trials Against Shoah Survivors in Post-National Socialist Germany
   

Wednesday, 3. November 2021, 15:00 - 17:00

Online: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81693470982?pwd=M3ZUalBheDRDZm9rNEFwRnpzeDVHQT09

 

VWI invites the Institute of Culture Studies and Theatre History (IKT) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW)

Wally HPhilipp Dinkelaker’s PhD project deals with the moral and ethical accusations and criminal proceedings against German-Jewish survivors of the Shoah who were perceived as Nazi collaborators in Cold War Germany. The project analyses how German-Jewish survivors and the two postwar German societies treated alleged traitors and embeds this analysis into the wider picture of German Vergangenheitsbewältigung. With a new combination of sources, Dinkelaker shows that accused survivors were not only brought before inner-Jewish honour courts. A considerable number of alleged Jewish Gestapo helpers were held accountable by German or Soviet law enforcement after the war, while the actual Gestapo perpetrators mostly got away.

Commented by Heidemarie Uhl

Philipp Dinkelaker is a historian from Berlin, who recently published a monograph about the Sammellager Synagoge Levetzowstraße (a detention camp for Jews) in Nazi Berlin. He is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University of Berlin and was previously a Junior Fellow at the Centre for Holocaust Studies at the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich.

Heidemarie Uhl is a senior researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and a lecturer at the University of Vienna and the University of Graz. Among other things, she is a member of the Austrian Delegation to the IHRA, chair of the Fachkommission of the Brandenburgische Gedenkstätten, and vice chairperson of the International Scientific Advisory Board of the Haus der Geschichte Österreich.
