This conference is a follow-up to the two successful conferences which took place at Imperial War Museum London in 2003 and 2006. It will continue to build on areas previously investigated as well as open up new fields of academic enquiry.

The aim is to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are engaged in research on all groups of survivors of Nazi persecution. These will include – but are not limited to – Jews, Gypsies and Slavonic people, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents, members of underground movements, the disabled, the so-called ‘racially impure’ and forced labourers.

We are most grateful for the generous support of the German Embassy, the Austrian Cultural Forum, the Polish Embassy, the German Historical Institute, London, and Renovabis, Freising. We are particularly indebted to Imperial War Museum London for providing the venue and all possible help.

The conference is being organised by:

Suzanne Bardgett, Imperial War Museum London
David Cesarani, Royal Holloway, University of London
Jessica Reinisch, Birkbeck College London
Johannes-Dieter Steinert, University of Wolverhampton
