Veranstaltungen
Mit seinen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen versucht das Wiener Wiesenthal Institut für Holocaust-Studien (VWI) die neuesten Ergebnisse im Bereich der Holocaust-, Genozid- und Rassismusforschung einem breiteren ebenso wie einem ausgewiesenen Fachpublikum regelmäßig näher zu bringen. Die unterschiedlichen Formate dieser über einen engen Wissenschaftsbegriff hinausweisenden Veranstaltungen, die von in einem kleinen Rahmen gehaltenen gehaltenen Vorträgen, den Simon Wiesenthal Lectures über für ein Fachpublikum interessante Workshops bis zu großen internationalen Tagungen, den Simon Wiesenthal Conferences reichen, spiegeln das breite Tätigkeitsfeld des Instituts wider.
Präsentationen von ausgewählten Neuerscheinungen zu den einschlägigen Themen des Instituts, Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum, die Filmreihe VWI Visuals und die Fachkolloquien der Fellows runden die Palette der Veranstaltungen des Instituts weiter ab.

Last year marked the 75th anniversary since the end of the Second World War and the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. It has also been twenty years since the first international forum on the Holocaust was organised in Stockholm, which led to the instigation both of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and the Swedish authority Forum for Living History. Many survivors are today quite old and will soon not be able to tell about their experiences. At the same time, antisemitic tendencies and other forms of racism as well as a widespread dissemination of conspiracy theories and disinformation are growing stronger all over the world. As a result, Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Löfvén has invited world leaders and organisations to a high-level summit in Malmö on 13 October to highlight remembrance of the Holocaust and the combatting of antisemitism in international cooperation. The ambition of the Government of Sweden is to strengthen the remembrance of the Holocaust, and it has therefore pledged to preserve and pass on the memory of the Holocaust by establishing a museum, which is set to open next year. Erika Aronowitsch, Forum for Living History in Stockholm: Ljiljana Radonić, Austrian Academy of Sciences: The event will be moderated by Gerhard Baumgartner (DÖW). Organized in cooperation with the Living History Forum, the Embassy of Sweden Vienna and the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance (DÖW)
