Twenty-one advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students participated in this ten-day seminar, using ITS records to explore the following five themes: the Nazi machinery of destruction; non-Jewish victims; foreign, forced, and slave laborers; displaced persons; and war criminals.
Twenty advanced undergraduate and early graduate students attended a ten-day seminar at the Museum on five thematic areas relevant to the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Participants examined these themes through the use of select ITS documents. Topics included the concentration camp system; non-Jewish victims; foreign, forced and slave laborers; displaced persons; and war criminals.
Staff scholars introduced 12 researchers from Europe, Israel, and North America to the ITS collection and assisted them in their research on foreign, forced, and slave labor in the German war economy.
The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies and the International Tracing Service introduced scholars to the ITS Archive in Bad Arolsen, Germany, teaching them how best to use and understand ITS materials. Participants explored the documentation in groups and identified key portions of the material that offer particularly rich opportunities for new research.
