SUMMARY:Rethinking Holocaust History through Geospatial Approaches
DTSTAMP:20260323T033856Z

DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, spatial history has emerged as a key dim
	ension of Holocaust research. Mapping projects addressing ghettos\, camps\
	, forced labor sites\, deportation routes\, and places of persecution have
	 demonstrated how geographical perspectives can reveal new insights into t
	he structures and dynamics of Nazi violence and its aftermath. Building on
	 these developments\, the workshop organised by the Czech and Austrian nat
	ional Nodes of the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) takes
	 a fresh look at a wide range of spatial methodologies\, from established 
	GIS-based approaches to emerging digital techniques.\n\nThe workshop invit
	es contributions that explore innovative approaches on the spatial history
	 of the Holocaust at the intersection of geography\, Holocaust and memory 
	studies\, and the digital humanities. It encourages papers and project pre
	sentations that reflect on applied methods and practical experience\, incl
	uding not only successful approaches but also challenges\, failures\, and 
	lessons learned in working with different types of data\, technologies\, a
	nd interfaces.\n\nThe workshop invites senior as well as early-career rese
	archers from different disciplines\, including historians and digital huma
	nists\, and is not limited to those from countries with EHRI national node
	s. By combining paper presentations with interactive discussions and hands
	-on elements\, it aims to foster methodological exchange\, networking\, an
	d future collaboration.\n\nParticipants are invited to reflect critically 
	on questions of data sustainability\, interoperability\, and ethical chall
	enges related to working with Holocaust geodata. A particular emphasis wil
	l be placed on urban Holocaust geographies and on linking spatial data wit
	h victim databases\, historical maps\, archival sources\, and personal nar
	ratives. Selected projects from the Austrian and Czech contexts will serve
	 as illustrative case studies\, highlighting practical applications in bot
	h research and public history.
