Events
The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies (VWI) organises academic events in order to provide the broader public as well as an expert audience with regular insights into the most recent research results in the fields of Holocaust, genocide, and racism research. These events, some of which extend beyond academia in the stricter sense, take on different formats ranging from small lectures to the larger Simon Wiesenthal Lectures and from workshops addressing an expert audience to larger international conferences and the Simon Wiesenthal Conferences. This reflects the institute’s wide range of activities.
The range of events further extends to the presentation of selected new publications on the institute’s topics of interest, interventions in the public space, the film series VWI Visuals, and the fellows’ expert colloquia.

Granick is co-investigating a British Arts and Humanities Research Council project on Jewish Country Houses, and leading its Holocaust research dimension. She will speak about different entry points the new research field of Jewish country house studies has opened up in relation to Holocaust and memory research, as well as in relation to heritage and educational practices. Stately houses associated with aristocracy and their legacy are a central feature of European heritage infrastructure today, but typically interpreted within national frameworks shaped by Christianity. Wealthy, emancipated Jews began acquiring these houses in the 19th century, entering aristocratic sociability as Europe began shifting towards republican forms of governance. Granick will discuss the fate of these families, their homes, and their relationship to other Jews during the Holocaust, and how the project is working with historic houses across Europe to tell Jewish stories after genocide. Jaclyn Granick is a Senior Lecturer in Modern Jewish History at Cardiff University. Her book International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (Cambridge University Press) has won the National Jewish Book Award. Currently she is working on the project Jewish Country Houses. Please register at This email address is being protected from spambots.
