We seek authors willing to submit articles for the next issue of the Remembrance and Solidarity Studies. Deadline: 15 September.

Issue will be titled Violence in Twentieth-Century European History: Commemorating, Documenting, Educating.

In Europe, the 20th century could rightly be called a ‘century of violence’ due to an exponential increase in the number of those who were killed, imprisoned, tortured or displaced during that century. Apart from numerous wars, including two global ones, which have caused millions of deaths, modern states became involved in violence towards their own citizens. The increase of state violence weakened democracy, undermined human rights and eventually led to the creation of totalitarian regimes. Therefore, it seems vital to focus primarily on the various phenomena of violence and their consequences for twentieth-century history as well as on how they are remembered.

The issue will be edited by Florin Abraham and Réka Földváryné Kiss. Remembrance and Solidarity Studies in 20th Century European History is published online (enrs.eu/studies) and, in limited copies, in paperback.
