 Summer Research Workshop Panel Discussion
The Politics of Repair: Restitution and Reparations in the Wake of the Holocaust
Helena Rubinstein Auditorium
Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
100 Raoul Wallenberg Pl., SW
Washington, DC
Established in 1999, the Center’s Summer Research Workshop Program encourages cooperation between scholars from the United States and abroad—both junior and senior—from a variety of disciplines who work in closely related areas of Holocaust research but who have had limited opportunity for meaningful, face-to-face interactions. Each workshop consists of two weeks of research and deliberation, culminating in a public presentation.

This workshop examines postwar restitution and reparations projects across Europe, analyzing their origins in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust and their resurgence following the end of the Cold War. Participants will explore these efforts at redress as they relate to evolving notions of victimhood, the reinterpretation of national histories, and the reintegration of Jews into European societies, as well as their implications for transitional justice more broadly.

This program is supported by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation.
