Mit seinen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen versucht das Wiener Wiesenthal Institut für Holocaust-Studien (VWI) die neuesten Ergebnisse im Bereich der Holocaust-, Genozid- und Rassismusforschung einem breiteren ebenso wie einem ausgewiesenen Fachpublikum regelmäßig näher zu bringen. Die unterschiedlichen Formate dieser über einen engen Wissenschaftsbegriff hinausweisenden Veranstaltungen, die von in einem kleinen Rahmen gehaltenen gehaltenen Vorträgen, den Simon Wiesenthal Lectures über für ein Fachpublikum interessante Workshops bis zu großen internationalen Tagungen, den Simon Wiesenthal Conferences reichen, spiegeln das breite Tätigkeitsfeld des Instituts wider.

 

Präsentationen von ausgewählten Neuerscheinungen zu den einschlägigen Themen des Instituts, Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum, die Filmreihe VWI Visuals und die Fachkolloquien der Fellows runden die Palette der Veranstaltungen des Instituts weiter ab.

Imagem1This lecture will present the main results of a research project entitled “Forced Labour of Portuguese Citizens in the Third Reich”, which was carried out at the Institute of Contemporary History of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities / New University of Lisbon by a research team coordinated by Professor Fernando Rosas.

First, it will address the question of the wartime labour force in Germany and the various forms of forced labour that were deployed. It will then seek to explain how Portuguese citizens – citizens of a neutral country – were caught up in the infernal web of forced labour in Nazi Germany.

This investigation undertaken in 2017 was motivated by and coincided with the first tribute given by the Portuguese state to the Portuguese victims of Nazi exploitation at the annual ceremony commemorating the liberation of the Mau­thausen concentration camp.

He is the author and host of the TV history series on RTP2 and RTP Africa, “Historia a Historia” (2015) and “Historia a Historia -África” (2017-2018).
