CfA: USHMM Faculty Seminar: Resistance to the Holocaust in Germany, Austria, and Beyond (Deadline March 15, 2026)

DC
United States

The 2026 Curt C. and Else Silberman Faculty Seminar explores resistance acts during the Holocaust with a focus on protest, hiding, and rescue. Together, we will examine the different forms of Jews’ resistance to Nazi antisemitic policies, as well as assistance that Jews and non-Jews (or “mixed” categories) provided to Jews, who found hiding places, lived under false identities, and escaped the Nazis during the Holocaust. In addition to discussing individual acts of resistance, we will investigate the ways in which Jewish and non-Jewish men and women were associated with or participated in resistance groups and networks. With the goal of teaching this content, we will consider why Jewish resistance during the Holocaust is still often perceived as a rare occurrence, and how gender stereotypes led to a restricted or distorted view of Jewish and non-Jewish resistance. We will also examine the following topics:

• varieties of Jewish resistance, including hiding, passing, and escaping, etc.
• comparative research of rescue across Europe during the Holocaust
• the contexts and methods of Jews' and non-Jews' resistance
• the consequences and moral implications of rescue actions
• Jewish and non-Jewish forms of cooperation
• the politics of commemorating resisters and rescuers, etc.

The 2026 Silberman Seminar helps faculty, instructors, and advanced PhD students who are currently teaching or preparing to teach courses that focus on or have a curricular component related to the Holocaust. Applications are welcome from instructors across academic disciplines, including but not limited to Anthropology, Archeology, Art, Disability Studies, Gender Studies, German Studies, History, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Jewish Studies, Human Rights, Migration Studies, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Political Science and International Relations, Psychology, Refugee Studies, Sociology, and Trauma and Memory Studies. The seminar aims to deepen, broaden, and enrich how we teach the Holocaust by drawing on a range of perspectives and disciplinary approaches to address different forms of Jews’ resistance to the Holocaust.

The deadline for applications is Sunday, March 15, 2026. This seminar will take place June 1–10, 2026 at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Seminar applicants must be teaching or anticipate teaching relevant courses at accredited institutions in North America. The full CfA and the application form are available here on the USHMM website. Please contact Campus Outreach Programs (campusoutreachprograms@ushmm.org) with any questions. 

The Curt C. and Else Silberman Foundation endowed the Silberman Seminar for University Faculty in memory of Curt C. and Else Silberman. The Foundation supports programs in higher education that promote, protect, and strengthen Jewish values in democracy, human rights, ethical leadership, and cultural pluralism.

Call for Applications: 2024 Research Training Workshop

DEADLINE: March 1, 2024 At the Summer Research Laboratory on Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign June 14-15, 2024 Moderators: Professor Anna Whittington (Department of History, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Dr. Nataliia Laas (Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs) Soviet Citizenship in Flux: New Perspectives on Late Socialism and After The Russian war on Ukraine has raised the question of why the relations between the citizens and the state diverge greatly in different post-Soviet states. This research training workshop starts from the supposition that many of these differences stem from differentiated and unequal practices of citizenship in the late Soviet era. We seek to bring together scholars working across a wide geographic and temporal spectrum, illuminating both differences in the discourses and practices of citizenship and their evolution over time and space. Key themes include the relationship between center and “peripheries”; the tensions between citizenship as conceived by political and cultural elites and citizens; the formation of new rituals and practices to promote belonging; the transformation of citizenship practices at times of upheaval and uncertainty; and the varied and contested legacies of Soviet citizenship across the former Soviet Union. We are especially interested in papers that offer political, social, economic, and ecological perspectives on late socialism and early independence. To apply, please submit an abstract (ca. 250 words) and a short bio by March 1 to the moderators, care of Sarah Pierson, REEEC (schess@illinois.edu ). Accepted applicants will develop their proposal into an article-length paper by June 1, to be pre-circulated among workshop participants for discussion. The workshop will take place June 14–15, 2024 in Champaign-Urbana. Some limited funding is available to defray travel costs for workshop participants. This Research Training Workshop will take place as part of the Summer Research Laboratory on Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia hosted annually at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. We encourage those who are eligible and interested in conducting additional research before or after the workshop to apply to the Summer Research Laboratory by March 1 for additional support.
