Women's Spaces of Existence: Gendered Everyday Perspectives on the Holocaust

Women's Spaces of Existence: Gendered Everyday Perspectives on the Holocaust is a collaborative workshop organized by the University of Graz and WHISC. It will take place in two parts: online (24–25 February 2025) and in person in Graz (4–6 May 2026). The workshop examines women’s everyday spaces of existence and survival during the Holocaust—inside camps, ghettos, and in daily life beyond them—highlighting gendered perspectives often overlooked in Holocaust research. Graduate students, PhD candidates, and established scholars will join working groups, present their research, and develop papers for a planned special journal issue.
