ESSHC goes digital

21 October 2020 10:48

The ESSHC 2020, postponed  to 24-27 March 2021,  goes digital.

We  have decided to change the postponed the ESSHC in March 2021 into an online event.
As a live conference in March 2021 is not a viable option given the ongoing global Covid-19 crisis, we have chosen to go digital. Thus, we want to give the ESSHC community the opportunity to present, discuss, network and stay connected, in a virtual environment.  More information on the ESSHC on the conference website:  esshc.iisg.amsterdam

Communistische verzetsstrijders in Oorlogslevens.nl

21 September 2020 13:40

Van ruim duizend oorlogsslachtoffers is informatie over betrokkenheid bij het communistisch verzet toegevoegd aan Oorlogslevens.nl. Bronnen over bijvoorbeeld lidmaatschap van de Communistische Partij van Nederland (CPN) staan daarmee in context van andere bronnen over persoonlijke gebeurtenissen in oorlogstijd, zoals arrestatie en gevangenschap. Voormalig CPN-partijsecretaris Joop IJisberg: “De toevoeging van het CPN-archief aan Oorlogslevens.nl levert een prachtige toegang tot andere bronnen over deze verzetsmensen op”.

Archief Communistisch verzet in de Tweede Wereldoorlog gedigitaliseerd

Hun rol in het verzet was onmiskenbaar en zeer intensief, en die betrokkenheid was uiteraard niet zonder risico. Veel verzetsstrijders moesten hun inspanningen met hun leven bekopen.
