This study explores the year-long ordeal of approximately 1,000 Jewish women, children, and older individuals deported in May and June 1944 from the region of Bačka to labor camps primarily in Lower Austria. By integrating age as a crucial intersectional category—alongside gender, religious observance, rural or urban background, and other factors—this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted experiences of Jewish-Bačka internees in forced labor camps in Austria. Grounded in Jewish ego-documents, it also reveals how each group navigated social roles, developed coping mechanisms, and interacted within the camps.

Search and Research: Lectures and Papers 36: The Germans, The War in The East, and The “Final Solution”

In the historiography of World War II and the Holocaust, letters and diaries are often used to provide insight into the perspectives of the time. In this volume, Jürgen Matthäus uses the often-neglected source of photo albums created by German soldiers during and immediately after the war. These albums provide a rare insight into the mindset of ordinary Germans, their knowledge of the crimes committed, and how their perspectives changed during the war.
