We are pleased to invite you to the workshop 𝐴𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑉𝑖𝑠𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐻𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦. 𝑉𝑖𝑠𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐻𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐽𝑒𝑤𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝐸𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛 𝐸𝑢𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑒.
🔖The workshop is organized by the Vilnius branch of the GHI Warsaw in collaboration with the project #𝐿𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑛. 𝑃𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑁𝑎𝑧𝑖 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 and 𝐾𝑎𝑢𝑛𝑎𝑠 𝑁𝑖𝑛𝑡ℎ 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑀𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑢𝑚.
🎞️The workshop aims to present and analyze photographic and film materials, discussing how this valuable visual content can be utilized for research purposes and in museums and other educational settings.
🗺️The venue for the workshop will be 𝐾𝑎𝑢𝑛𝑎𝑠 𝑁𝑖𝑛𝑡ℎ 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑀𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑢𝑚 - a historically significant space for this project, because in 1941 it was one of the final destinations of deportations from the German Reich.
🔎The starting point is the Berlin research project #𝐿𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑛. 𝑃𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑁𝑎𝑧𝑖 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠, which assigns and analyzes photographs of Jews, taken shortly before the deportations occurred. For more information on the project, please refer to

📝We intend to foster discussions among advanced students, historians, and cultural studies scholars, mainly from the Baltic region, to explore the following issues:
📌What is known about the deportations of Jews from Germany and Austria to Kaunas, Riga, and other cities?
📌Are there any eyewitness testimonies, documents, or photographs of the deportations from Germany and Austria?
📌Photographs as historical sources - how can photographs be evaluated as documents?
📌Which photos from events of the persecution and murder of Jews that took place in the Baltic region during the same period can be examined as historical sources?
