Competing Narratives of Victimhood in the Age of Transitional Justice. The History and Memory of the Terrorscape Maly Trostenets

 

BOBELDIJKThis PhD project focuses on the history and memory of the terrorscape of Maly Trostenets in Belarus and a number of Western European countries. The former kolkhoz and camp at Maly Trostenets and two nearby forests just outside Minsk were used by the Soviets (1937–1941) to eliminate ‘enemies of the Soviet Union’, and by the Nazis (1942–1944) to murder partisans, Soviet POWs, as well as Belarusian and Western European Jews. This research will analyse both of these histories of this terrorscape. It will examine the dynamics between these histories and their memory, and if and how they are conflicted, contested, or entangled with one another.
