The Holocaust Memorial Center in Budapest and the WHISC – Women in the Holocaust International Study Center at the Moreshet Mordechai Anielevich Memorial, Givat Haviva, Israel, are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for its International Conference on Women in the Holocaust.
This year's conference, titled
Across Borders: Women in the Holocaust in Central and Eastern Europe: History, Arts, and Memory
is dedicated to exploring the lives, actions, and legacies of Jewish, non-Jewish, and Roma women during the Holocaust and WWII through a multidisciplinary approach, turning these women's stories into a vivid, colorful mosaic.
The conference aims to bring together historians, scholars of history, literature, arts, and Holocaust memory.
A special round table on the second day will focus on pedagogical approaches to teaching about women in the Holocaust.
The first day will feature 2–3 panels, while the second day will include one panel, a workshop and a roundtable discussion.
The conference language is English.
We welcome topic proposals that challenge both established and new interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the Holocaust and women's history.
We encourage participation from both early-career scholars and more established, experienced scholars.
Conference presentations will last no more than 20 minutes.
Scholars interested in participating should apply by 15 April 2026.
Travel expenses and accommodation will be covered for successful applicants.
We offer refreshments, light meals, an opening dinner, an additional conference program, and publication of selected papers in a peer-reviewed academic volume.
