The European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) recently published the sixth issue of the academic journal Remembrance and Solidarity Studies. The volume showcases diverse approaches toward studying violence in 20th-century European history.
For more information on the journal and for digital access to previous publications please visit our website: www.enrs.eu/studies.
The issue is devoted to painful aspects of violence in 20th-century European history. It features two distinct contribution categories: studies and essays. Research papers showcase the complexity and multiple perspectives from which the phenomenon of violence can be studied. The second category is a synthesis of the most important lectures presented at the European Remembrance Symposium, ‘Violence in 20th-century European history: commemorating, documenting, educating’, Brussels, 2017.
The texts are available in print and online. Until now, the ENRS has published five issues concerning: the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, the First World War Centenary, the Legacy of 1989, the Memory of Economy Crisis, and the Holocaust/Shoah.
