Study day: call for applications

Escape routes and rescue paths: France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Italy: exile, crossings, borders... 1938-1944

Conference: 24 September 2019, Shoah Memorial, Paris

Within the framework of the European programme EHRI (European Holocaust Research Infrastructure), the Shoah Memorial organizes a study day devoted to "Escape routes and rescue paths: France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Italy: Exile, crossings, borders... 1938-1944.”

This day aims to promote the EHRI program, to make known its activities and the results achieved since its implementation in 2012.

Offering a forum for researchers whose current or past work focuses on the themes of exile, rescue and border crossing, this day will be an opportunity for highlighting and exchange. The presence of archivists, librarians as well as museum curators whose collections are related to these subjects will provide essential insights and make it possible to thematize in particular the difficulties faced by research on the question of available sources.

This day of exchanges will make it possible to discover the program of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure and the help that this institution can offer for this type of transnational research, whether through its documentary portal or the financing of research stays.

This workshop is open to researchers, students, museum curators, archivists, librarians, as well as anyone who has conducted this type of research in a personal capacity.

Interventions, lasting a maximum of 20 minutes, may be made in English or in French (translation ensured for these two languages).

To propose an intervention, please send a CV (maximum 2 pages), a cover letter and a summary of the subject of the intervention. Travel and accommodation costs for the selected speakers will be covered.

The deadline for submitting an intervention is on September 5, 2019.

Open to public on registration and within the limit of available places.
