Welcome to the homepage of the second international multidisciplinary conference on

BEYOND CAMPS AND FORCED LABOUR - 60 YEARS ON

to be held at the Imperial War Museum, London, on 11-13 January 2006

• This conference is a follow up to the conference ‘Beyond Camps and Forced Labour: Current International Research on Survivors of Nazi Persecution’ which took place in January 2003 at the Imperial War Museum in London. It will continue to build on areas previously investigated, and also open up new fields of academic enquiry.
  
  
• The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are engaged in research on all groups of survivors of Nazi persecution. These will include - but are not limited to - Jews, Gypsies and Slavonic people, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents, members of underground movements, the disabled, the so-called racially impure, and forced labourers.

We are most grateful for the generous support of the Körber-Stiftung Hamburg, the British Academy, the German Embassy, London, the Austrian Cultural Forum, and the German Historical Institute, London. We are particularly indebted to the Imperial War Museum, London, for providing the venue and all possible help.

The conference is being organised by Johannes-Dieter Steinert, University of Wolverhampton, History and Governance Research Institute (HAGRI) and Inge Weber-Newth, London Metropolitan University, Institute for the Study of European Transformations (ISET), in association with the members of the Advisory Board.
