We are looking for volunteers to help out at the faculty boathouse, which was inundated during the recent floods. As this work involves cleaning out mud, volunteers will require working clothes and, ideally, wellington boots (a limited number of which will be available to borrow on-site), as well as rubber gloves (limited amount also available at the boathouse, but probably not enough to cover all volunteers).

This course studies the phenomenon called “the Americanization of the Holocaust,” a reality of the United States roughly defined as the cultural appropriation of the Nazi genocide. Various scholars have noted how new generations of Americans draw their knowledge of the Shoa, not through testimony of survivors or rigorous historical accounts, but through its cultural representation in the mass media, Hollywood, comics, pseudo-historical accounts, or memorial monuments, among other popular works.

Erasmus and other international students with interest in the history of World War 2 and Holocaust are cordially invited to join the excursion to MALACH, Centre of Visual History. Details available by Ivana Herglova at European Office.

At the workshop for Interning Students you will be informed about the internship in the Czech National Library, learn about aims, concepts and development of Manuscriptorium digital library for historical written documents and receive basic training in XML editing.
