Invitation to a conference ‘Right Wing Politics and the Rise of Antisemitism in Europe 1935-1940/41’

We have the pleasure to invite you to an international conference

 

Right Wing Politics and the Rise of Antisemitism in Europe 1935-1940/41

 

at the Center for Holocaust Studies at the Institute for Contemporary History in Munich, 18-20 February 2016.
During the 1930s, antisemitism grew rapidly, not only in Germany, where it became a central focus of state policies from 1933 on, but in most European countries. This culminated in the issue of the first non-German anti-Jewish laws in 1938 in Italy, Romania and Hungary, but also in an upsurge of antisemitic groups and a wave of antisemitic incidents after 1935. The proposed conference will examine the background, structures and consequences of these developments, which fully radicalized under German hegemony in Europe from 1940/41 on.

The conference will be conducted in English. Travel and housing costs will be covered by the organizers.
Suggestions for topics should be sent in the form of an abstract (1-2 pages) accompanied by a CV via e-mail to: zfhs@ifz-muenchen.de

Please send your proposals before the 21st of June, 2015.
