PresentationAnti-Jewish persecution didn&#8217;t only happen in specifically designed or transformed spaces such as camps and ghettos. It invaded spaces of everyday life in European cities: public spaces, work places and private spaces such as homes. In this landscape not only Jews and agents of persecution appear but also their immediate residential environment: concierges, neighbors, nannies, landlords, property managers, sub-tenants, local administrations, etc. These figures have an essential place in the memories of Jewish survivors. Though, so far, scholars have hardly addressed their role. The spatial turn that occurred during the last fifteen years in Anglophone Holocaust studies focused on the symbolic places of genocide. It mostly neglected apartment blocks and ordinary cities as spaces of persecution. This conference thus intends to focus on urban housing as a place for anti-Jewish persecution.RegistrationAll external guests must register online before attending:For January 11th: aup.edu/news-events/event/2018-01-11/international-conference-home-place-anti-jewish-persecutionFor January 12th: memorialdelashoah.org/evenements-et-expositions/agenda.htmlFor any question regarding the registration, please contact: schaeffercenter@aup.eduProgrammeJanuary 11th, 2018American University of Paris, 6 rue du colonel Combes, 75007 Paris, m&#233;tro Invalides9h00: Arrival and registration9h30-9h40: Opening, Brian Schiff, Constance P&#226;ris de Bollardi&#232;re (American University of Paris)9h40-10h00: Isabelle Backouche (EHESS-CRH), Sarah Gensburger (CNRS-ISP), Eric Le Bourhis (FMS-ISP) From an ongoing research on the Paris case to the international conference10h00-10h30: Keynote: Shannon Fogg (Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla) Housing in Paris and the Restoration of the French Republic: the Implementation of the November 14th, 1944 Order10h30-10h50: breakSeizure of "Jewish homes": between individual agency and public policiesChair and discussant: Claire Andrieu (Centre d'Histoire-Sciences Po Paris)10h50: Teresa Walch (University of California, San Diego) Exterminating &#8220;Judeo-Bolshevism&#8221; from the cityscape: Berlin&#8217;s B&#252;lowplatz and the Scheunenviertel11h20: Kostis Kornetis (Carlos III University, Madrid) Looting as a social praxis: Aspects of the spoliation and ruination of Jewish houses in 1943 Salonica11h50: Nad&#232;ge Ragaru (CERI-Sciences Po Paris) The Liquidation of Jewish Properties as Legitimacy Building Strategy.
