"S:I.M.O.N. – Shoah: Intervention. Methods. Documentation." is an e-journal of the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI). It aims at both a transnational and comparative history of the Holocaust and Jewish Studies in Central and Eastern Europe within the broader contexts of the European history of the 20th and 21st century, including its prehistory, consequences and legacies as well as the history of memory.

_S_hoah: The journal deals with the history of the Shoah from multidisciplinary, transnational and comparative perspectives. It seeks to integrate studies on Jews as well as on other groups of victims of the Holocaust, especially on Roma, and of so far less researched regions of (East) Central and (South) Eastern Europe.

_I_ntervention. The journal reports on research projects and their transmission into public events. It also informs about current educational and remembrance programs.

_M_ethods. The journal serves as a forum for the discussion of methodological approaches as, for instance, the everyday history, oral history, gender history, the history of violence, anti Semitism and racism and the theory of memory and memory politics.

Documentati_ON_. The journal contributes to critical approaches on using and interpreting archival materials in the 21st century.
