Stage 2 Registered Report
Preregistration can help to restrict researcher degrees of freedom and thereby ensure the integrity of research findings. However, its ability to restrict such flexibility depends on whether researchers specify their study plan in sufficient detail and adhere to this plan. Previous research indicates higher restrictiveness when preregistrations are based on structured versus unstructured template formats, although there is room for further improv…
A community-sourced glossary of open scholarship terms
Open scholarship has transformed research, and introduced a host of new terms in the lexicon of researchers. The ‘Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Teaching’ (FORRT) community presents a crowdsourced glossary of open scholarship terms to facilitate education and effective communication between experts and newcomers
School Photos in Liquid Time
From clandestine images of Jewish children isolated in Nazi ghettos and Japanese American children incarcerated in camps to images of Native children removed to North American boarding schools, classroom photographs of schoolchildren are pervasive even in repressive historical and political contexts. School Photos in Liquid Time offers a closer look at this genre of vernacular photography, tracing how photography advances ideologies of social ass…

La tache sur le revers
Solidarité et souffrance »
Anticipating the eventual transfer and “special handling” of local and recently deported Bessarabian and Bukowinan Jews into German-controlled Ukraine, Romanian authorities established numerous “holding” or “containment” ghettos and concentration camps for Jews in Transnistria, their newly acquired territory between the Dniester and Bug rivers. A comparative examination of three of these concentration camps – Bogdanovka, Pechora, and Cariera de P…
Ghosts of Home
In modern-day Ukraine, east of the Carpathian Mountains, there is an invisible city. Known as Czernowitz, the "Vienna of the East" under the Habsburg empire, this vibrant Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after World War II—yet an idealized version lives on, suspended in the memories of its dispersed people and passed down to their children like a precious and haunted heirloom. In this original blend of history and communal memoir, …
A Name Given, a Name Taken
Naming a person makes him or her a part of the social world—a name gives the person a social identity. At the same time, a name stands for the person, it symbolizes personal identity. It indicates to members of society who the named one is and, to the named one, who he or she is expected to be. Comparing naming practices and name acquisition by blacks and Jews in British colonial West Africa and Central Europe during the century of emancipation f…
The witness in the archive
What has Holocaust Studies brought to the study of memory, and, conversely, how has theoretical work on the Holocaust been inflected by Memory Studies? Focusing on witness testimony, we argue that the theoretical and philosophical efforts to grasp and define its contours have provoked a radical rethinking of the workings of memory and transmission: in particular, a foregrounding of embodiment, affect and silence. Yet we caution against a hyperbol…
Incongruous Images
When historians, archivists, and museologists turn to Eastern European photos from family albums or collections-for example, photos from the decades preceding the Holocaust and the early years of the Second World War-they seek visual evidence or illustrations of the past. But photographs may refuse to fit expected narratives and interpretations, revealing both more and less than we expect. Focusing on photos of Jews taken on the main avenues of C…
The Tile Stove
The Tile Stove Marianne Hirsch (bio) and Leo Spitzer (bio) My emotions peaked when I approached the tile stove, next to which my divan once stood. It was a kind of upright floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile stove, the same one where Papa used to warm the eiderdown to cover me on cold winter nights. I opened the creaky door. To my astonishment inside was a gas burner instead of the coal or wooden logs we used in my time. Still caressing the cold tile s…

What's Wrong With This Picture
This article considers the important role of archival photographs in the work of historians, artists and writers of the generation after the Holocaust. Powerful “points of memory” linking past and present, memory and postmemory, individual remembrance and cultural recall, photographs can offer evidence of past crimes and function as haunting specters that enable an affective visceral connection to the past. And yet, photographs may also be limite…
Testimonial Objects
Focusing on a book of recipes and a miniature artists' book from the Terezín and Vapniarka concentration camps, this essay argues that such material remnants can serve as testimonial objects that carry memory traces from the past and embody the process of its transmission. Inspired by Roland Barthes's notion of the punctum, we read such testimonial objects as points of memory-points of intersection between past and present, memory and postmemory,…

Persistent Memory
Desperate to escape an increasingly vehement persecution in their homelands, thousands of persons from Nazi-dominated Central Europe-the majority of them Jews-found refuge in Latin America in the late 193os and the early years of World War II. Bolivia was a principal recipient of this refugee influx. In that Andean land the refugees began to reconstruct a version of the world they had been forced to abandon. Their own origins and social instituti…

ROFESSOR Charles H. Livingston has reminded us' of a remark by Sir James Murray to the effect that English words whose history is obscure may eventually be explained by an examination of modern French patois; Mr. Livingston has given an excellent illustration of the truth of this statement by tracing the origin of Eng. funk 'to flinch or shrink from fear' to an O.Fr. fernicle, funicle 'wild, mad' (= Lat. *phrenicus) that has been preserved in mod…

The most recent commentary on this canto is that of Grandgent1; below are the lines in which he sums up the episode of Pier delle Vigne and treats of the language of the canto: The style of this canto abounds in curious conceits, such as the ‘Cred'io ch'ei credette ch'io credesse’of 1. 25, the ‘infiammati infiammar’ of 1. 68, the double antithesis of 1. 69, and the involved paradoxes of the following tiercet. It would seem that meditation over Pi…
